Constructing the early enteral nutrition management protocol for severely burned adult patients: a Delphi study.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2026. 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
backgroundEarly enteral nutrition (EEN) plays a crucial role in the treatment of severely burned adult patients. However, its clinical implementation remains inconsistent and lacks standardization, which may hinder optimal rehabilitation outcomes of severely burned adult patients. This study aims to create a standardized EEN management protocol specifically tailored for severely burned adult patients.
methodsAn initial draft of the EEN management protocol for severely burned adult patients was formulated through a comprehensive literature review and discussions within an expert panel. This was followed by a two-round Delphi study, in which 17 professional experts from eight provinces and municipalities evaluated the importance and feasibility of the protocol’s items using the structured questionnaire. Based on the feedback received from each round of experts, revisions were made to the protocol’s items.
resultsAfter two rounds of Delphi consultation, 17 experts converged to a consensus. The EEN management protocol for severely burned adult patients included 5 first-level items, organizational management, comprehensive assessment, nutritional intervention, outcome monitoring, and quality control, with 23 second-level items and 66 third-level items. The expert authority coefficient of consultation was 0.924 and 0.919, respectively. In the first round of expert consultation, the Kendall coefficient of concordance (Kendall’s W) for the importance and feasibility of the items was 0.156 and 0.128, respectively (P < 0.001). In the second round of expert consultation, Kendall’s W for the importance and feasibility of the items was 0.142 and 0.122, respectively (P < 0.001).
conclusionsThis Delphi-derived protocol standardizes EEN management for severely burned adult patients by integrating evidence, expert insights, and operational practicality. It serves as a valuable reference for clinical medical staff for providing high-quality nutrition services.
