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: This study aims to evaluate the effect of postoperative interventions based on the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) on postoperative recovery in elderly gastrointestinal cancer patients, providing scientific evidence to support clinical practice and improving postoperative recovery quality and survival rates in elderly patients. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, with relevant studies retrieved from multiple Chinese and English databases. The studies selected met the inclusion criteria, involving elderly gastrointestinal cancer patients aged 60 years or older, and interventions guided by PMT, including health education, behavior modification, or psychological interventions. The primary outcomes assessed were postoperative complication rates, psychological stress scores, and quality of life scores. Results: A total of 8 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, with a total of 319 participants. Meta-analysis results indicated that the PMT intervention group had a significantly lower postoperative complication rate compared to the conventional health education group (MD = 1.81, 95% CI:1.30-2.53, Conclusion: Postoperative interventions based on the Protection Motivation Theory can significantly improve postoperative recovery in elderly gastrointestinal cancer patients by enhancing recovery outcomes, reducing complication rates, improving psychological stress levels, and enhancing quality of life, demonstrating strong clinical application value.
