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
introductionNaso-gastric tube (NGT) feeding under physical restraint is a lifesaving clinical intervention that is sometimes needed in mental health patients, particularly those with restrictive eating disorders. Initial guidance was published in 2020 and subsequently reviewed and updated to support dietitians in this specialist area.
methodsUsing purposeful recruitment, we brought together specialist mental health dietitians from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland who work in inpatient child and adolescent mental health services or adult inpatient mental health services. We followed modified nominal group technique in the update of these guidelines. Nominal group technique has four stages. Stage one is for silent idea generation, stage two facilitates round-robin discussion, stage three is the discussion and refining of ideas and stage four the voting and ranking of ideas to generate consensus.
resultsWe have updated the clinical guidelines for dietetic prescribing when NGT feeding under physical restraint for a mental health condition is needed. This updated guideline promotes the least restrictive practice and encourages dietetic prescribing to be proportionate to medical risk.
conclusionWe have provided an updated version of the dietetic prescribing guidelines when NGT feeding under physical restraint is needed. These guidelines now apply to mental health patients in general, not just those with Anorexia Nervosa and incorporate expert clinical opinion regarding strategies to wean off this clinical intervention.
