Nutritional alterations, adverse consequences, and comprehensive assessment in spinal cord injury: a review.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to complex nutritional alterations, including energy imbalance, skewed macronutrient and micronutrient intake, and disrupted nutrient absorption and metabolism. These changes contribute to increased risks of obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and other comorbidities, profoundly affecting long-term recovery and quality of life. Despite the growing recognition of these challenges, nutritional assessment methods for SCI patients remain fragmented and insufficient. This review first outlines the major nutritional consequences and clinical implications of SCI, then focuses on current methods for assessing nutritional status in this population. Three major domains are discussed: body composition analysis, nutrient intake and absorption assessment, and energy metabolism monitoring. Traditional tools such as anthropometry, food diaries, and indirect calorimetry are discussed alongside advanced technologies including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and metabolomics. By highlighting both current limitations and emerging solutions, this review underscores the importance of personalized, technology-assisted nutritional assessment strategies to guide clinical decision-making and optimize outcomes for individuals with SCI.
