Effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention protocol for preventing stress ulcers in critically ill older patients after gastrointestinal surgery.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStress ulcers are common complications in critically ill patients, with a higher incidence observed in older patients following gastrointestinal surgery. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention protocol to prevent stress ulcers in this high-risk population.
aimTo assess the impact of a multi-modal intervention on preventing stress ulcers in older intensive care unit (ICU) patients postoperatively.
methodsA randomized controlled trial involving critically ill patients (aged ≥ 65 years) admitted to the ICU after gastrointestinal surgery was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received a multi-modal stress ulcer prevention protocol, or the control group, which received standard care. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of stress ulcers. The secondary outcomes included ulcer healing time, complication rates, and length of hospital stay.
resultsA total of 200 patients (100 in each group) were included in this study. The intervention group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of stress ulcers than the control group (15%
conclusionThis multi-modal intervention protocol significantly reduced the incidence of stress ulcers and improved clinical outcomes in critically ill older patients after gastrointestinal surgery. This comprehensive approach may provide a valuable strategy for managing high-risk populations in intensive care settings.
