Clinical and metabolic phenotyping of continuous versus intermittent ENteral NUTrition in ventilated adults with shock: ENNUT trial protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06330610 (Evaluation de l'efficacité du Support Nutritionnel entéral Intermittent Sur la défaillance d'Organes de Patients de réanimation Sous Ventilation assistée ENteral NUTrition - Continue Intermittent), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionCritically ill patients often require enteral nutrition, but the optimal feeding strategy-continuous or intermittent-remains uncertain. While continuous enteral nutrition ensures steady nutrient delivery, it may inhibit key metabolic and cellular processes such as autophagy and ketogenesis. Intermittent enteral nutrition, by mimicking fasting periods, could activate protective pathways, potentially improving clinical outcomes. However, evidence for its efficacy and safety in intensive care units (ICUs) is limited. This study evaluates the clinical and metabolic impacts of fasting intervals during intermittent enteral nutrition compared with continuous enteral nutrition in critically ill patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We designed a multicenter, randomised, open-label trial across nine French ICUs, enrolling adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support. Participants will receive either intermittent or continuous enteral nutrition for 7 days, with the primary endpoint being the change in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score from Day 1 to Day 7 or ICU discharge. Secondary endpoints include nutritional intake, metabolic markers, gastrointestinal tolerance, ICU-acquired infections and mortality rates. Quality of life will be assessed at discharge. A total of 174 patients will be included. Descriptive statistics will summarise group characteristics, with the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test depending on data distribution for SOFA score change, and regression for confounders. Secondary endpoints will be analysed using regression, χ ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by a French ethics committee on 24 October 2023 (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ile de France 1, Paris, France, number SI 23.03427.000435). Patients are included after providing informed consent. Results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Registered on clinicaltrials.gov on 26 March 2023 (NCT06330610).
