Advanced and Careful Hospital Nutrition Reduces Respiratory Assistance and Hospitalization in Patients With COVID-19: A Retrospective Longitudinal Observational Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Hospital nutrition is an essential component of the multidisciplinary care of COVID-19 patients. Malnourished COVID-19 patients present more symptoms, complications, and require longer hospitalization times. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to study the influence of an advanced and careful hospital nutrition on COVID-19 patients' evolution and treatment. Methods: One hundred and twenty-two patients suffering from COVID-19 and hospitalized in the "Clínica Universidad de Navarra" (CUN) (Madrid) and attended by professionals from the hospital's gastronomy and nutrition area participated in the study. Hospital meals were subjected to advanced culinary techniques such as sous vide cooking, special electrical oven, food marination, and steam and pressure cooking. Clinical, food intake, respiratory assistance, and hospital stay were assessed. Results: COVID-19 patients present comorbidities and digestive symptoms which impair food intake and adherence to a healthy diet. The use of advanced and careful hospital nutrition using special culinary techniques that maintain the organoleptic characteristics of the meals improves patients' intake, reducing the requirement for respiratory assistance and shortening hospital stay. Conclusion: Advanced hospital nutrition is key in managing patients affected by COVID-19 because it influences their progression and treatment.
