1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: High output enterostomy associated malnutrition is a feature of intestinal failure (IF). Chyme reinfusion therapy (CRT) is recommended for restoration of physiological digestive processes in type 2 IF patients. Nevertheless, widespread use of manual CRT has limitations. Recently, innovative technology has demonstrated enhanced intestinal absorption and decreased intestinal losses, associated with improved nutritional and clinical outcomes. Case Report: A pilot comparison of pump-assisted versus manual CRT was conducted on two short bowel syndrome (SBS) cases using a check list and key informant interviews. Conclusion: Manual CRT was unpopular among nurses and caregivers, causing frequent interruptions in the procedure. Alternatively, pump-assisted CRT was safe, well tolerated by the patients and accepted by caregivers. The automated system has physiological advantages over parenteral nutrition (PN) with relatively few complications. It could be a cost effective and valuable addition to IF nutritional management but requires verification in a larger planned comparative study.
