Energy and protein intake adequacy in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients: A descriptive cohort study.
Article in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition, 2025. 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
backgroundIndirect calorimetry (IC) provides an accurate measure of energy expenditure, which informs energy requirements. Achieving energy and protein requirements is fundamental in nutrition care. This study aims to determine if the energy requirements informed by IC and estimated protein requirements are met in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients receiving dietitian-led individualized nutrition care.
methodsGeriatric rehabilitation inpatients referred to dietitians were included. Resting metabolic rate was measured using IC at inclusion in the study and within 48 h before discharge. Food intake was assessed using plate waste observation. The patient's energy requirement was calculated using the resting metabolic rate and physical activity factor and adjusted for the weight goal. Protein requirements were estimated by the dietitian. The energy and protein intake adequacy was calculated as a percentage of the individual requirement and defined "adequate" if ≥100%.
resultsFifty-three patients were included (mean age, 84.3 [standard deviation, 8.44] years; 22 [41.5%] women). The median energy and protein intake adequacy was 101.7% (interquartile range [IQR], 76.4-112.9) and 87.6% (IQR, 71.9-122.2) at the start of the nutrition care (n = 53) and 99.9% (IQR, 63.9-113.8) and 80.1% (IQR, 65.1-99.6) at discharge (n = 29), respectively. Only 15 of 53 (28.3%) patients at the start of nutition care and 6 of 29 (20.7%) patients at discharge achieved both energy and protein intake adequacy.
conclusionsEnergy requirements were met, but the protein requirements were not met in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients receiving nutrition care. However, less than one-third of patients achieved both energy and protein intake adequacy.
