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 aims to optimize preoperative risk factors to better prepare the patient for the upcoming surgery. Nurses are an integral part of the multidisciplinary teams and are essential in promoting the effective implementation of prehabilitation. The aim of study was to explore factors affecting the implementation of prehabilitation from nurses' perspective.

methodsIn-depth interviews with semi-structured questions were conducted with sixteen nurses from December 2023 to January 2024. Data were analyzed through an inductive thematic analysis. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist was used for reporting.

resultsFour themes with eight subthemes were identified: interprofessional collaboration (poor collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, lack of specialist nurse role), prehabilitation knowledge (limited prehabilitation training, the unstandardized prehabilitation pathway), organizational support (shortage of professional human resources, lack of hospital-level support), availability of equipment and facilities (medical equipment resource limitations, information technology support constraints).

conclusionThis study enhanced our understanding of the challenges in delivering prehabilitation from the nurses' perspective. The findings provided insights into further improving the quality of the prehabilitation programme. Tailored interventions were needed to promote interprofessional collaboration, increase prehabilitation knowledge, enhance organizational support, and address the availability of equipment and facilities, all of which were crucial for the successful delivery of prehabilitation.
