Multimodal prehabilitation before lung resection surgery: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in British journal of anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundRespiratory muscle training may improve ventilatory efficiency (V
methodsWe conducted a prospective multicentre, randomised controlled trial (NCT04826575) to examine the effect of prehabilitation in individuals undergoing lung resection. Participants were defined as high-risk for postoperative pulmonary complications if they achieved V
resultsA total of 122 patients (46% female; age range: 64-75 yr) completed the study. Postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 20/58 (34%) of patients randomised to multimodal prehabilitation, compared with 35/64 (55%) patients receiving usual care (odds ratio 2.29 [95% confidence interval 1.10-4.77]; P=0.029). Hospital length of stay was shorter after multimodal rehabilitation compared with patients randomised to receive usual care (from 9 [7-11] days to 7 [6-9] days; P=0.038). After prehabilitation, mean (sd) V
conclusionsIn high-risk patients undergoing elective lung resection surgery, multimodal prehabilitation, including high-intensity respiratory muscle training to target V
