Enhancing Perioperative Oral Nutritional Supplements in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients: A Pilot Project on Evidence-Based Practice.

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
Objective: This study aimed to integrate the most robust evidence on perioperative oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) for elderly patients with hip fractures into clinical practice and to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: Using an evidence-based continuous quality improvement model, we synthesized the best available evidence with the specific clinical context of the research institution, translated it into review indicators and implementation plans, and conducted a baseline audit to identify barriers and facilitators. Based on these findings, a targeted action plan was developed and implemented. Evidence-based interventions were incorporated into routine clinical practice from January 2024 to October 2024. Outcomes before and after implementation were compared, including medical staff knowledge of nutrition and related topics, discharge NRS2002 scores, discharge nutritional risk, serum albumin levels,prognostic nutritional index (PNI), length of hospital stay, number of complications, and adherence to review indicators. Results: A total of 49 cases before and 44 cases after the implementation of evidence-based practice were analyzed. Post-implementation, adherence to the review indicators improved significantly, with overall compliance increasing from 0-10.7% to 25-100% (P < 0.05). Medical staff knowledge scores on nutrition and related topics increased significantly from (61.07±12.36) to (85.57±16.89) (t = 6.195, P < 0.001). In addition, after implementation, discharged patients showed significantly lower nutritional risk and NRS2002 scores, as well as improved PNI (P < 0.05). Although discharge serum albumin levels increased and both length of hospital stay and number of complications decreased, these changes did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: This pilot project demonstrates that implementing an evidence-based protocol for perioperative ONS in elderly hip fracture patients is both feasible and effective. The intervention significantly improved healthcare staff knowledge, enhanced adherence to care standards, and reduced patients' nutritional risk, thereby supporting faster recovery and promoting continuous quality improvement in nursing care.
