Best evidence synthesis of preoperative prehabilitation for older patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 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
Objective: To identify, evaluate, and synthesize the best available evidence on preoperative rehabilitation for older patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Methods: Following the "6S" evidence model, a systematic search was conducted for clinical decisions, guidelines, systematic reviews, expert consensus statements, evidence summaries, and randomized controlled trials on preoperative prehabilitation for older patients with gastrointestinal tumors. Searches covered major domestic and international databases as well as professional websites, with literature collected up to 30 November 2024. Two researchers independently screened the studies, assessed methodological quality, and extracted data, with input from expert judgment. Results: A total of 22 publications were included: 1 clinical decision, 6 clinical guidelines, 5 systematic reviews, 5 expert consensus statements, 3 evidence summaries, and 2 randomized controlled trials. From these, 33 key evidence items were synthesized across seven domains: implementation timing and team composition, preoperative risk assessment, nutritional intervention, exercise intervention, psychological support, specialized management, and supervision and evaluation. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive and methodologically consistent summary of the available evidence. Healthcare professionals should individualize evidence-based prehabilitation strategies according to patients' clinical characteristics and preferences to improve surgical outcomes.
