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
Objective: It is unclear whether this non-linear relationship between caloric delivery during the acute phase of critical illness and prognosis applies to patients across all body mass index (BMI) categories. Methods: This secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study included patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 3 days. The patients were divided into two subgroups based on BMI: normal BMI and overweight (BMI: 25-30 kg/m Results: A total of 361 AGI patients were included in the final analysis, including 272 in the normal BMI subgroup and 89 in the overweight subgroup. In the normal BMI subgroup, Cox regression analysis revealed a significant non-linear relationship ( Conclusion: The association between daily delivered calories within the first 72 h of ICU admission and 28-day mortality in critically ill patients showed a hockey-stick association, which was observed only in patients with a BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m
