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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND &

aimsEnhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has shown significant improvements in postoperative outcomes and a reduction in complications, while immunonutrition (IMN) has been shown to modulate the immune system and inflammatory response. However, many studies have overlooked the crucial aspects of nutrition status and patient perception within the intervention approach. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and explore patients' acceptance of the IMN intervention in postoperative outcomes among gynecological cancer (GC) patients under the ERAS framework.

methodsThis two-phase explanatory sequential mixed-method study design comprises an open-labeled randomized control trial and a qualitative study. The GC participants will be randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. Malaysian adults scheduled for elective surgery will be recruited, with the intervention group receiving IMN for five days before and seven days after elective surgery, while the control group undergoes routine nutritional care before the operation. Both groups will adhere to the ERAS protocol. An explanatory qualitative study will be conducted among GC patients to elucidate their expectations following the trial. Study outcomes include hospitalization duration, change in nutrition status, biochemical profile, functional status, and quality of life. Additionally, the secondary outcome focuses on evaluating the perception of the intervention approach. Quantitative and qualitative data will be analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis and through inductive thematic analysis, respectively.

conclusionImplementing perioperative IMN intervention within the ERAS framework may contribute to the preservation of better nutrition status and the provision of sufficient dietary intake to support postoperative recovery, and promote better surgical outcomes. Patients' perceptions play a pivotal role in enhancing understanding of disease management and adherence to the intervention approach.
