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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aims to explore the application of a multimodal prehabilitation strategy in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and to evaluate its impact on postoperative recovery, weight loss, and quality of life.

methodsThis was a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. A total of 120 eligible patients undergoing elective LSG were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 60), receiving routine perioperative care, or the observation group (n = 60), receiving a structured 5-7-day prehabilitation program.

resultsCompared to the control group, the observation group had a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay (mean difference [MD] -1.23 days; 95% CI -1.67 to -0.79; P < 0.001) and a lower incidence of complications (1.7% vs. 11.7%; odds ratio 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.89; P = 0.038). At 6 months, the prehabilitation group showed a greater reduction in BMI (MD -3.78 kg/m

conclusionThe application of prehabilitation strategies in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can effectively promote faster postoperative recovery, enhance weight loss, improve quality of life, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. It is a safe and effective approach, worthy of clinical promotion. Furthermore, the principles of this multimodal prehabilitation framework offer valuable translational insights for optimizing perioperative supportive care in surgical oncology.
