Nutritional Prehabilitation Intervention in Hematological Patients Undergoing Bone Marrow Transplant: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
Synthesis in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundNutritional interventions play a critical role in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. This review evaluates the effectiveness of nutritional strategies in mitigating post-transplant malnutrition and improving clinical outcomes.
methodsA systematic review was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The search terms included "bone marrow transplant", "malnutrition", and "preoperative nutritional interventions". The quality of studies and risk of bias were assessed using the JBI framework, while evidence certainty was evaluated with the Oxford OCEBM.
resultsSix studies were included (n = 3545 screened). The studies demonstrated predominantly high methodological quality and a low risk of bias, although heterogeneity in the treatments investigated and small sample sizes limited the evidence. Nutritional interventions significantly increased energy intake (26 vs. 24 kcal/kg/day,
conclusionsNutritional prehabilitation shows promise in improving BMT outcomes. Standardized nutritional programs could optimize care, although limitations in current evidence are clearly present. Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm findings and refine pre-transplant protocols.
