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

Background: Traditional perioperative care is hospital-centric, whereas the efficacy of multidisciplinary team (MDT)-based comprehensive nutrition management remains debated. This study examines how this model impacts postoperative complications and functional recovery in older adults. Methods: A single-center superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT; April 2023-March 2024) randomized 120 older adults (≥65y) undergoing major abdominal surgery (grades 3-4) into intervention ( Results: Among 120 participants (mean age 72.6 years; 65.2% male), 5 were lost to follow-up, leaving 56 in the intervention group and 59 in the control group for analysis. The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower postoperative complications compared to controls, with a relative reduction in in-hospital events and lower post-discharge rates (3.6% vs. 6.8%). The Comprehensive Complication Index averaged 6.2 points lower in the intervention group ( Conclusion: The MDT-based perioperative model synergistically reduces postoperative complications and accelerates geriatric functional recovery through nutritional, exercise, and psychological interventions, providing evidence-based support for high-risk elderly care.
