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

Aim: To summarize the available evidence on perioperative tube-fed enteral nutrition in esophageal cancer patients. Design: This article was an evidence summary according to the evidence summary reporting standard of the Fudan University Center for Evidence-Based Nursing. Method: A systematic literature search was conducted on the management of tube-fed enteral nutrition in patients with esophageal cancer. The types of literature included clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summaries, and systematic evaluations. Data sources: The following databases and resources were systematically searched: BMJ Best Practice, Up To Date, Guidelines International Network, National Guideline Clearing-house, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, Yi Mai Tong Guidelines Network, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Wan Fang, CNKI, VIP, and SinoMed; and websites of relevant professional associations, including National Comprehensive Cancer Network, American Cancer Society, European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism website, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition website, China Nutritional Sciences Resource Platform, and Chinese Nursing Association. The search period spanned from the database setup to November 2024. Results: A total of 20 articles were included, including 2 clinical decisions, 9 guidelines, 7 expert consensus, 1 evidence summary, and 1 systematic review. A total of 40 pieces of evidence were summarized from 9 aspects: team management, nutritional risk screening and assessment, nutritional support indications, enteral nutritional support routes and timing, target nutrient requirements, enteral nutritional preparations, implementation of tube-fed enteral nutrition, maintenance of tubing, monitoring of nutritional support, and evaluation of outcomes. Conclusion: This article summarizes evidence on perioperative tube-fed enteral nutrition management in patients with esophageal cancer. Clinical practitioners should select and apply evidence, considering actual medical conditions and the patient's specific condition, to scientifically administer perioperative tube-fed enteral nutritional support in patients with esophageal cancer. Systematic review registration: identifier ES20246670.
