Impact of perioperative enteral nutrition on postoperative acute muscle wasting in gastric cancer: a prospective exploratory study with a historical control group.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Objective: Assessing the impact of perioperative enteral nutrition (EN) on postoperative acute muscle atrophy following radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer(GC) (with changes in skeletal muscle mass as the primary outcome indicator). Methods: Patients who underwent GC surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology Surgery in a top-tier hospital in Nanjing were selected for the study. The control group, consisting of patients treated between January and June 2023, received routine perioperative nutritional management. The experimental group, consisting of patients treated between July and December 2023, followed a preoperative combined with early postoperative EN program. skeletal muscle mass, grip strength, 6-meter walk test speed, and body weight were compared between the two groups 7 d postoperatively. Results: The intervention significantly reduced the loss of skeletal muscle mass, grip strength, and body weight from baseline ( Conclusion: The perioperative EN program for GC developed in this study enables medical staff to efficiently gather relevant information, providing a more comprehensive and holistic approach to EN for GC patients. The program effectively reduces postoperative acute muscle wasting, grip strength loss, and weight loss. This study provides a reference for clinical perioperative EN management in GC patients.
