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

backgroundThere is limited understanding of patients' and healthcare professionals' perceptions and experiences of receiving and delivering dietetic care, respectively. This systematic review of the literature used qualitative synthesis to explore the perceptions and experiences of multiple stakeholders involved in the delivery of nutrition care and dietetic service.

methodsMEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, PsycINFO and ProQuest were systematically searched. Study characteristics and perceptions of stakeholders regarding nutrition care services were extracted. Qualitative synthesis was employed and thematic analysis conducted.

resultsFive themes were identified from 44 studies related to stakeholders' perceptions of dietetic services. Studies included quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods involving patients, families, dietitians and other healthcare professionals. The themes were (1) patients desiring a personalised approach to nutrition care; (2) accessing dietetic service; (3) perceived impact of nutrition care on the patient; (4) relationships between stakeholders; and (5) beliefs about nutrition expertise. Two themes were specific to patients; these were the desire for individualised care and the impact of nutrition care. Within each theme perceptions varied with patients' views often contrasting with those of dietetic service providers.

conclusionsExperiences of dietetic service do not always meet stakeholder expectations which impacts on patient engagement. Seeking stakeholder input is imperative to design dietetic services that engage patients in positive and supportive clinical partnerships.
