1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 develop a prehabilitation program for elderly patients with esophageal cancer before surgery. Methods: Relevant studies on prehabilitation for esophageal cancer were comprehensively searched and analyzed to summarize the best available evidence. A preliminary prehabilitation program was drafted through group discussion and subsequently refined via two rounds of expert consultation using the Delphi method, resulting in the final program. Results: The prehabilitation program for elderly patients with esophageal cancer before surgery includes 5 first-level items, 12 second-level items, and 35 third-level items. Conclusion: The prehabilitation program for elderly patients with esophageal cancer before surgery demonstrates certain scientific validity and reliability, providing a reference for healthcare professionals in guiding patients' prehabilitation.
