Effect of prehabilitation in patients undergoing gastric or oesophageal cancer resections: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2025. 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
backgroundGastric and oesophageal cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality globally. Treatment in the form of surgical resection and neoadjuvant therapy is considered the gold standard; however, these procedures are associated with significant postoperative morbidity and prolonged recovery times. Prehabilitation aims to combat this by physically and psychologically optimising patients preoperatively to handle the stress of surgery and improve postoperative outcomes.
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients undergoing gastric or oesophageal cancer resections.
methodsStandard medical databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched to find randomised, controlled trials comparing prehabilitation
resultsA total of 16 studies were included (
conclusionPrehabilitation was found to be effective in reducing postoperative morbidity and improving preoperative physical health in patients undergoing gastric or oesophageal cancer resections.
