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
Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness of a multimodal perioperative care program in reducing postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: Overall, 1285 patients aged ≥ 75 years who underwent curative gastrectomy were classified into pre-program (2008-2018, Results: In the post-program group, 314 patients underwent swallowing screening, with 108 receiving targeted speech-language therapy and 49 being prescribed a dysphagia diet. Physical function screening was conducted on 281 patients, with 204 receiving perioperative exercise therapy. Program implementation was significantly associated with a lower incidence of overall complications (21% vs. 40%), surgical (13% vs. 21%) and non-surgical complications (7% vs. 17%), pneumonia (4% vs. 9%), and delirium (3% vs. 7%). Multivariate analysis revealed that the program was independently associated with a significantly decreased incidence of overall complications (odds ratio [OR]: 0.431, Conclusions: Multimodal perioperative care program may effectively reduce postoperative complications, particularly non-surgical complications such as pneumonia, in elderly patients with gastric cancer.
