Summary for infectious complications (A), non-infectious complications (B) and lengths of hospital stay (C) of different nutrition support regimes. For categorical data including infectious and non-infectious complications, the upper right area represented the effect sizes of direct comparisons and the bottom left shown the indirect comparisons. For direct comparison, it favors the row-defining treatment if odds ratio (OR) lower than 1, in contrast, for indirect comparison, the result favors the column-defining treatment if OR lower than 1. For numerical data, each number in each cell represented the effect size of the treatment in upper left area minus the treatment in bottom right area. Standard mean differences (SMDs) lower than 0 favor the column-defining treatment. The upper right area presented the effect sizes of direct comparisons and the bottom left shown the direct comparisons. A number with bold font indicated a significant difference between two treatments. SEN: standard enteral nutrition.
