Development of a nutritional management protocol for patients with severe traumatic brain injury: a Delphi study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) commonly experience hypermetabolism, catabolism, and feeding intolerance, making nutritional management an essential part of clinical care. However, there is still a lack of standardized and integrated protocols to guide nutritional management in this population. Aims: To develop an evidence-based nutrition management protocol for patients with sTBI. Methods: An evidence-based approach was adopted to formulate the protocol. Relevant evidence was identified through systematic retrieval, followed by quality appraisal, evidence synthesis, and grading. A preliminary protocol was then developed and further revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Experts rated each item in terms of feasibility and importance. Results: A total of 17 studies were included after evidence retrieval and appraisal and the preliminary protocol consisting of 5 primary indicators, 10 secondary indicators, and 33 tertiary indicators was developed. This preliminary protocol was then refined through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation involving 15 experts. The Kendall's harmony coefficients for item feasibility were 0.399 and 0.331, respectively, and those for item importance were 0.288 and 0.465, respectively. The final protocol included 4 primary indicators, 11 secondary indicators and 33 tertiary indicators. Conclusion: This study developed an evidence-based nutritional management protocol for patients with sTBI. The protocol provides an evidence-informed framework to support standardized nutritional management in patients with sTBI.
