Effect of prehabilitation in patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer resections: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers are often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Surgical intervention remains the cornerstone for curative treatment. However, Due to the complexity of these procedures, patients often experience postoperative complications. Prehabilitation has been suggested as a tool to decrease postoperative morbidity and improve recovery by optimising patients preoperatively to handle the stress of surgery.
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer resections.
methodsStandard medical databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched to find randomised, controlled trials comparing prehabilitation
resultsA total of 8 studies were included (
conclusionPrehabilitation was found to be effective in reducing postoperative complications following surgical intervention for hepatobiliary or pancreatic cancer.
