Preoperative Nutritional Conditioning: Why, When and How.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMalnutrition is a frequent finding in patients undergoing cancer surgery, especially in the elderly. The decreased nutritional status leads to increased complications and to delayed recovery after the surgical procedure. While established concepts of enhanced recovery after surgery and rehabilitation aim at improving the patient SUMMARY: Nutritional conditioning targets an increase in the functional reserve preoperatively to optimize recovery in the postoperative period. Routinely, it is combined with an exercise program according to the patient's state. Individualized meal plans help to meet the patient's requirements and should start approximately 4 weeks prior to surgery. An important part of the nutritional conditioning is to guarantee a daily protein intake of at least 1.2 g/kg body weight. This may be realized by commercially available whey proteins in particular or milk proteins in general. KEY MESSAGES: All specialists involved in the care of cancer patients should recognize the care continuum that starts when the need for surgery is identified and aims at increasing the functional capacity throughout the pre-, peri- and postoperative phase by means of prehabilitation, enhanced recovery programs and rehabilitation.
