One-Year Changes in Frailty Components After Curative Minimally Invasive Surgery for Colorectal Cancer in Older Patients.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological 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
Background: Frailty predicts outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery, but postoperative changes remain unclear. We previously reported improvement in FRAIL Scale-based frail/pre-frail status 1 year after curative minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This study examined the components underlying that improvement using the FRAIL Scale and Kihon Checklist (KCL). Methods: This secondary analysis included patients aged ≥ 70 years who underwent curative MIS for colorectal cancer and had preoperative and 1-year postoperative frailty assessments. Changes in FRAIL Scale and KCL indicators were evaluated using paired analyses. Results: Among 239 patients assessed preoperatively, 141 were included in the paired analysis. Among FRAIL Scale items, only the weight-loss criterion improved significantly (35.8% to 9.5%, Conclusions: FRAIL Scale improvement was driven mainly by resolution of the weight-loss criterion, with modest weight gain and no clear overall body-weight recovery. KCL changes varied across domains and items, with improvement in some aspects but persistence or worsening in others, supporting a multidimensional interpretation of postoperative recovery in older patients.
