Multimodal prehabilitation enhances perioperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients: a single-center randomized controlled trial.

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
Introduction: Multimodal prehabilitation, integrating exercise, nutrition, and psychological support, has shown value in perioperative care for gastrointestinal cancers, but its efficacy-especially as a short-course intervention tailored to gastric cancer's need for timely surgery-remains insufficiently validated. Methods: Eligible patients undergoing radical gastrectomy received either a 1-week multimodal prehabilitation program plus standard perioperative care (prehabilitation group) or standard perioperative care alone (control group). Primary endpoint was the 30-day postoperative complication rate; secondary endpoints included functional capacity, patient-reported outcomes, recovery metrics, and hospital stay. Results: Recruitment was conducted from July 2022 to July 2024. A total of 150 patients were randomized, with 131 completing the trial (66 in the prehabilitation group, 65 in the control group). Baseline demographics (gender, age, education level) and clinical characteristics (comorbidities, TNM staging, surgical details) were comparable between groups (all Conclusion: Multimodal prehabilitation (integrating exercise, nutrition, and psychological support) significantly improves perioperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients-including reducing postoperative complications, accelerating functional recovery, and enhancing psychological well-being.
