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

backgroundPrehabilitation is rehabilitation before surgery. This emerging discipline within the canon of perioperative patient optimization is increasingly being incorporated into treatment strategies for patients undergoing major surgical procedures. This narrative review primarily presents the evidence for nononcological patients.

methodsThie article gives a systematic review of the literature.

resultsThe specific evidence for prehabilitation in nononcological visceral surgery is low. Most publications have examined mixed patient populations. Nevertheless, across the publications, patients benefit from prehabilitation measures and significantly fewer complications are observed. One group that particularly benefits are patients with pre-existing frailty. Prehabilitation should be incorporated into the preparation for major surgery, regardless of whether for oncological or nononcological patients, especially considering that only 10% of all guideline recommendations are based on high-quality evidence.
