1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

People diagnosed with Intestinal Failure (IF) requiring Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) have complex medical and nutritional requirements. To date, assessment for, and ongoing management of, HPN has relied on medical, nursing and dietetic input. However, success in assessing suitability for HPN and ongoing management is often reliant on non-medical factors. This paper aims to outline the critical clinical role the social worker can play and their scope of practice in assessing and managing people requiring HPN. This includes assessment across medical, psychosocial, financial, legal, quality-of-life and healthcare-related domains. This perspective paper highlights the vast scope in which the social worker can support people diagnosed with IF requiring HPN. More research is required to quantify the value of the social worker as a key member of the multidisciplinary IF team.
