1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This case report presents the perioperative optimization pathway of a frail octogenarian who underwent multilevel lumbar spinal fusion surgery. This patient was enrolled in a multimodal prehabilitation program for frail older adults. The multimodal prehabilitation program includes preoperative interventions that prevent further decline in physiological functions before spine surgery. The program focuses on physical exercise, nutritional intervention, and pain neuroscience education. Six weeks postoperatively, clinical and patient-reported outcomes improved in the categories targeted by the preoperative interventions and surgery. This report suggests that prehabilitation is feasible for preoperatively optimizing frail older adults undergoing complex spine surgery.
