Trial reportChronic respiratory disease
Effect of individual nutritional therapy during inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation in patients at risk for malnutrition and sarcopenia - a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Chronic respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BackgroundMalnutrition and sarcopenia are common in inpatient rehabilitation, however individual nutritional therapy (iNT) is often underutilized. This study aimed to assess the effect of iNT on nutrition and muscular health.MethodPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or post-pneumonia at risk for malnutrition and sarcopenia undergoing inpatient rehabilitation were enrolled. The control group received usual care including enriched food and educational group sessions on nutrition. The intervention group received additional counselling by a dietician twice a week. Both groups received individualized physiotherapy and self-management coaching, endurance exercise sessions on 5 days and strength training sessions on 2-3 days per week as part of the clinical routine. Primary outcomes were changes in energy and protein intake, assessed via menu consumption and macronutrient analysis. Secondary outcomes included handgrip strength, muscle mass by bioimpedance analysis, and physical performance measured by the timed-up-and-go test.ResultsTwenty-six patients per group (median age of 72 years, 60% men, 52% COPD) were included. Energy and protein intake increased significantly more in the intervention group with a 309 kcal and 16 g compared to -53 kcal and -1 g in the control group (
