'Malnutrition Receives High Priority': Nurses' Experiences in Providing Nutritional Support in Hospitalized Patients-A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
aimsTo describe nurses' experiences in managing malnutrition in hospitalized adults and providing support along an interprofessional nutritional standard.
designA qualitative study using focus group discussions and an inductive approach to data analysis based on Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis.
methodsThree focus groups were conducted with nurses from a large tertiary hospital with experience in general and specialized medical care.
findingsThe overarching theme of 'Malnutrition receives high priority' highlighted the strong influence of the nutritional standard. With the adoption of tasks, malnutrition was becoming an important topic in clinical practice and nursing activities could be further described in three interacting sub-themes: (1) Exploration of an individual patient situation to identify possible causes of malnutrition ('malnutrition is considered individually'); (2) development of individual care plans depending on identified problems, causes and symptoms ('malnutrition comes into focus'); and (3) recognizing challenges when interventions sometimes were unsuccessful ('malnutrition is not a uniform label').
conclusionThe results indicate that nurses are well positioned to improve nutritional support for patients, even in the context of emerging trends in healthcare such as digitalization. Achieving this requires a person-centred approach with individualized goals, structured interprofessional collaboration, and shared decision-making with patients and healthcare professionals. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The study highlights the importance of adherence to nutritional standards, further integration of artificial intelligence-based technologies into clinical practice, regular training in early detection of malnutrition, and support for shared decision-making and individualized nutritional care planning. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution. REPORTING
methodThe Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research (COREQ) checklist were used according to the recommendations of the EQUATOR guidelines.
