Effects of preoperative nutrition and multimodal prehabilitation on functional capacity and postoperative complications in surgical lung cancer patients: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06716437 (Digitally Enabled Prehabilitation in a Community-based Setting for Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the effect of preoperative nutrition and multimodal prehabilitation on clinical and functional outcomes in surgical lung cancer patients.
methodsWe searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and CENTRAL, EMBASE, Scopus, and clinical trial registries ( clinicaltrials.gov , International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and Google Scholar) to identify studies involving a preoperative nutrition-based intervention or multimodal prehabilitation (nutrition with exercise) of at least 7 days, in lung cancer patients awaiting surgery. Studies must have reported results on at least one of the following outcomes: functional capacity, pulmonary function, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool for randomized trials and the modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale for non-controlled trials.
resultsFive studies were included (1 nutrition-only and 4 multimodal prehabilitation studies). Due to substantial heterogeneity in the interventions across studies, a meta-analysis was not conducted. Findings suggest that multimodal prehabilitation, compared with standard hospital care, is associated with improvements in both functional walking capacity and pulmonary function during the preoperative period; however it does not appear to have an effect on postoperative outcomes. Rather, the finding of significantly lower rates of postoperative complications in the intervention group was unique to the nutrition-only study.
conclusionMultimodal prehabilitation programs that combine nutrition and exercise may have beneficial effects on various physical function outcomes in patients with lung cancer awaiting surgery. Optimizing preoperative nutrition may have postoperative benefits which remain to be confirmed.
