The effect of 12-weeks Nutritional supplementation on Nutritional Intake and Status among Indonesian Older Outpatients with Malnutrition Risk, the Prolansia study: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundStandard care for older outpatients who are at risk of malnutrition in Indonesia is still based on the 2017's recommendations of the Indonesian Geriatrics Society. and does not provide nutritional supplementation as recommended by ESPEN guidelines 2019/2022.
objectiveWe compared the effects of supplementation of at least 400 kcal/day including 30 g or more of protein/day as nutritional intervention as recommended by the ESPEN Guideline with standard care recommended by The Indonesian Geriatrics Society, in Indonesian older adults who are at risk of malnutrition.
methodsOlder outpatients (60 years or older) at a geriatric clinic of the national referral hospital with or at risk of malnutrition were recruited. They were randomly allocated to 12 weeks of supplementation with a nutrient dense drink twice a day on top of standard care compared to standard care only. We assessed energy and nutrient intake at baseline, after 6 and 12 weeks and nutritional status, physical performance, and vitamin D level at baseline and after 12 weeks. Data analyses were blinded.
resultsAs many as 105 older outpatients (65 % women, mean age 72.5 years, SD = 6.3) were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 54) and the control group (n = 51). One hundred and one participants completed the intervention, with an average compliance of 90% to the nutritional intervention. Nutritional supplementation significantly increased daily intake of energy, protein, total fat, vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium (all p values <0.001) and carbohydrate (p = 0.002) in both men and women after 12 weeks. The intervention group showed an increase in vitamin D levels (p = 0.008). Furthermore, the intervention group gained more body weight than the control group did (p = 0.021)), especially in women (p = 0.017). Women in the intervention group also showed more increase in skeletal muscle mass (p = 0.023). Improvements in muscle strength and physical performance were not statistically different between the groups. No significant adverse effects were noted.
conclusionNutritional supplementation is effective in improving nutritional intake and status among Indonesian outpatients with malnutrition risk, which has the potential to support and enhance the standard of care.
