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
aimTo determine the prevalence of feeding intolerance and identify associated risk factors among older patients receiving nasogastric tube feeding.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases from inception to October 23, 2023. Clinical studies involving participants aged ≥ 60 years who received nasogastric tube feeding and reported the prevalence or incidence of feeding intolerance were included.
resultsOf 2187 records identified, four trials including 317 older adults were eligible for inclusion. The pooled proportion of diarrhea was 24% (95% CI 0.00 to 0.65), with substantial heterogeneity (I
conclusionThis meta-analysis provides preliminary evidence that, among older patients receiving nasogastric tube feeding, the pooled proportion of diarrhea varied widely across studies and appears lower with continuous than with intermittent regimens. However, due to the small number of included studies and limited sample sizes, these findings should be interpreted with caution.
