General Principles of Risk Mitigation before Colorectal Surgery.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Preoperative risk mitigation is vital for improving surgical outcomes and patient safety, particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgeries. While traditional approaches have primarily focused on postoperative care, the preoperative period is a unique opportunity for intervention to enhance patients' physiological readiness for surgery and minimize complications. This narrative review examines the general principles of preoperative risk mitigation, identifies common complications in colorectal surgery, and explores the impact of patient comorbidities on surgical outcomes. Additionally, the review discusses the strategic management of modifiable risk factors. The integration and impact of prehabilitation protocols in colorectal surgery are also evaluated. Evidence indicates that addressing modifiable preoperative risk factors can significantly improve surgical outcomes. Obesity management, nutritional optimization, and enhancing functional capacity through prehabilitation have been shown to reduce postoperative complications. Multimodal prehabilitation benefits high-risk and frail patients, improving their postoperative recovery and reducing complication rates. The preoperative period is crucial for implementing risk mitigation strategies to enhance surgical outcomes in CRC patients. Interventions targeting modifiable risk factors and integrating prehabilitation protocols can complement traditional postoperative care, improving recovery and reducing complications. Despite promising findings, further research is necessary to fully understand the long-term benefits and optimize preoperative interventions to mitigate postoperative morbidities effectively.
