Novel Multidisciplinary Cardiometabolic Prehabilitation for Inoperable Aortic Aneurysm Management.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHealth optimization before surgery is a key strategy to reduce perioperative complications and improve outcomes. However, patients with severe cardiometabolic disease and poor functional status present unique challenges. CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old man with a 6.7-cm ascending aortic aneurysm was deemed ineligible for surgery at 2 tertiary centers and 1 quaternary center because of severe obesity, poor functional status, and multiple comorbidities. He enrolled in Advanced Cardiac Energetics (ACE), a structured, multidisciplinary virtual program incorporating lifestyle changes, intermittent fasting, and mindfulness. Over 7 months, his weight, blood pressure, and functional capacity improved, and he successfully underwent aneurysm repair. DISCUSSION: Although prehabilitation is supported in the literature, strategies for obese, deconditioned patients are limited. This case demonstrates how Advanced Cardiac Energetics may expand surgical eligibility in high-risk populations and serve as a model for comprehensive preoperative care. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Multidisciplinary cardiometabolic care programs can deliver prehabilitation to enable life-saving cardiothoracic surgery for patients who are otherwise inoperable.
