Clinical application of pre-rehabilitation concept on comfort colonoscopy in Chinese elderly patients: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe concept of pre-rehabilitation has been clinically implemented across various surgical fields; however, studies investigating its application in colonoscopy remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and patient satisfaction of the pre-rehabilitation concept in bowel preparation for comfort colonoscopy among elderly Chinese patients.
methodsThe enrolled patients were randomly allocated into the pre-rehabilitation and control groups. Prior to colonoscopy, patients in the pre-rehabilitation group received supplementary oral administration of ENSURE (Enteral Nutritional Powder) and psychological counseling provided by specialty nurses. The control group received only Polyethylene Glycol Electrolytes Powder. The primary outcome was the quality of bowel preparation, assessed using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. Secondary outcomes included the polyp detection rate, incidence of adverse effects, and patient satisfaction.
resultsA total of 485 patients who were admitted for colonoscopy during hospitalization were included in the analysis. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). The Boston total score in the pre-rehabilitation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.001). The colon polyp detection rates in the two groups were 78.5% and 67.3%, respectively (P = 0.006). Patients in the pre-rehabilitation group reported higher satisfaction with colonoscopy procedures and experienced a lower incidence of hypoglycemic reactions.
conclusionsThe combination of additional enteral nutrition supplements and psychological counseling can enhance the quality of bowel preparation, decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, and improve patient satisfaction. This intervention measure is both feasible and worthy of clinical application and promotion.
