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
objectiveThis study evaluates the effects of combined psychological intervention and enhanced nutritional support on postoperative recovery in CRC patients, focusing on nutritional status, sleep quality, pain management, psychological well-being, and quality of life.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 2021 to August 2023. A total of 300 CRC patients who underwent surgery were randomly assigned to the observation group (150 patients), receiving standard postoperative care plus psychological intervention and enhanced nutritional support, or the control group (150 patients), receiving standard care only. Primary outcomes included nutritional status (weight, serum albumin, total protein), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pain (Visual Analog Scale), psychological status (Self-Rating Anxiety and Depression Scales), and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30).
resultsThe observation group showed significant improvements in nutritional status, with higher serum albumin, total protein, prealbumin, and transferrin, along with increased body weight (P < 0.05). Sleep quality improved, with significantly lower PSQI scores (P < 0.05). Pain management was more effective, reflected by lower VAS scores (P < 0.05). Psychological assessments revealed reduced anxiety and depression, with lower SAS and SDS scores (P < 0.05). The observation group also had higher EORTC QLQ-C30 scores, indicating better quality of life (P < 0.05).
conclusionPsychological intervention combined with enhanced nutritional support significantly improves postoperative recovery in CRC patients by enhancing nutritional status, sleep quality, pain management, and psychological well-being. This integrated approach may serve as an effective strategy for CRC rehabilitation. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Integrating psychological support with enhanced nutritional care significantly improves recovery, quality of life, and emotional wellbeing after colorectal cancer surgery. For survivors, this highlights the importance of comprehensive supportive interventions that address both physical and psychological needs in routine survivorship care.
