Enteral feeding protocol: a quality improvement project on feeding interruptions and clinical outcomes in a tertiary intensive care unit.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Purpose: Evaluation of the effectiveness of the feeding protocol in improving feeding interruption (FI) and clinical outcome in critically ill patients. Materials and methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, and prospective cohort study design evaluating the nutritional characteristics and adequacy, and the causes and clinical outcomes of FI, pre- and post-feeding protocol implementation. The risk factor for ICU mortality was also identified. Results: In total, 430 patients were included, 217 in the pre-protocol group and 213 in the post-protocol group. After protocol implementation, energy and protein intake significantly improved, and the total target nutrition was achieved. The post-protocol group was prescribed a more energy-dense formula (29.0% vs. 55.4%, Conclusion: Implementation of the feeding protocol improved feeding strategies and overall nutritional intake; however, it did not improve FI. Illness-related FI was associated with a reduction in survival of critically ill patients.
