Total energy expenditure measured using doubly labeled water in adults with major chronic diseases: a systematic review.
Synthesis in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEnergy requirement assessment is a cornerstone for nutrition practice. The extent to which total energy expenditure (TEE; indicator of energy requirements) has been measured in adults with chronic diseases has not been explored.
objectivesThis systematic review aimed to characterize evidence on TEE among individuals with chronic diseases and describe TEE across chronic diseases and in comparison to controls without a chronic disease.
methodsA literature search using terms related to doubly labeled water and TEE was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase. Eligible articles included those that measured TEE using doubly labeled water in adults with a major chronic disease. Methodological quality was determined using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics quality criteria checklist. Sample size-weighted TEE was calculated in each chronic disease subgroup.
resultsFifty studies were included, of which 15 had a control group. Median sample size was 20 participants, and approximately half of studies were published over 10 y ago. Thirty-five (70%) studies reported resting energy expenditure, and approximately half (k = 26) reported physical activity level. Methodological quality was neutral (k = 25) or positive (k = 23) for most studies. TEE among individual studies ranged from 934 to 3274 kcal/d. Mean weighted TEE was lowest among gastrointestinal (1786 kcal/d) and neurologic (2104 kcal/d) subgroups and highest among cancer (2903 kcal/d), endocrine (2661 kcal/d), and autoimmune (2625 kcal/d) subgroups. Excluding 1 article in cancer survivors resulted in a low TEE in the cancer subgroup (2112 kcal/d). Most studies with a control group reported no differences in TEE between controls and patients; however, only 1 study was powered for between-group comparisons.
conclusionsEnergy requirements vary across chronic diseases, although there is insufficient evidence to suggest that TEE in patients with chronic disease is different than that among controls. Further research is needed to inform energy requirement recommendations that consider chronic disease.
