New quality productivity-driven development of clinical nutrition in Chinese public hospitals: a Chongqing survey.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objectives: New Quality Productivity emphasizes innovation-driven, quality-focused development, requiring data-driven and efficient healthcare. However, Clinical nutrition is an interdisciplinary field bridging public health and clinical medicine, which is prone to marginalization and currently lacks platform development and data support. To address this, our study assesses clinical nutrition departments in Chinese public hospitals via a Chongqing survey, offering potential insights into national trends, while acknowledging regional specificity to propose data-driven solutions. Methods: The survey list of secondary and above public hospitals in Chongqing was obtained from the official website of the Chongqing Clinical Nutrition Quality Control Centre. A retrospective analysis was conducted using verified electronic questionnaire data retrieved from the National Clinical Nutrition Quality Control Platform. The collected data were organized in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by SPSS 26.0. Additionally, a targeted literature review was performed using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI to assess the structural, operational, and strategic challenges facing clinical nutrition departments and to formulate evidence-based development pathways. Results: The survey included 294 public hospitals in Chongqing, comprising 34.0% tertiary hospitals and 66.0% secondary hospitals. Among them, 160 (54.4%) had established Clinical Nutrition Departments, of which 42.1% had implemented the dedicated clinical nutrition information systems. These Clinical Nutrition Departments employed 643 professionals, including 284 physicians (44.2%), 187 technicians (29.1%), and 172 nurses (26.7%). This corresponds to a clinical nutritionist-to-bed ratio of 1:451. Only 11.9% of the clinical nutrition departments participated in academic education programs, whereas 33.3% engaged in clinical research activities. Between 2022 and 2024, the 24-h nutritional risk screening rate showed significant annual increases (all Conclusion: Chongqing's clinical nutrition sector shows progress in scale and efficacy, yet disparities between tertiary and secondary hospitals persist alongside key challenges in talent, discipline positioning, and research/education. To address these, we propose implementing the New Quality Productivity framework through national medical centers, focusing on technology integration, process optimization, and human capital development to shift from scale expansion to innovation-driven, high-quality growth.
