What will perioperative geriatric assessment for older cancer patients look like in 2025? Advantages and limitations of new technologies in geriatric assessment.
Review in European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
For years, surgeons have explored the relationship between age and surgical outcomes. Over time, it is more widely accepted that frailty and fitness of older patients, rather than their age, should be considered in surgical decision making. The gold standard of frailty assessment is comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) which is best performed by geriatricians. In the past decade, Digital Health Technologies that range from electronic solutions for electronic Patient-reported Outcomes to wearables and sensors have emerged. As these solutions are likely to expand and advance in the next years, we will review the history of investigating factors, especially aging-related factors associated with surgical outcomes, and the current supportive data about the potential and challenges of Digital Health Technologies in complementing or replacing some of the components of CGA by 2025.
