Effect of an ERAS-based pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program on perioperative outcomes in liver resection patients: a prospective study.
Trial report in European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine, 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
backgroundLiver resection patients face a heightened risk of pulmonary complications and decreased quality of life during the perioperative period. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)-based pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program may offer potential benefits in mitigating these issues.
aimThis study aims to develop and evaluate the clinical effectiveness of an ERAS-based pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program for liver resection patients during the perioperative period.
designA prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT).
settingA single-center study conducted in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at a tertiary hospital. POPULATION: Patients undergoing liver resection for the first time between July 2024 and December 2024.
methodsThis prospective study included patients who underwent liver resection for the first time in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of our hospital between July 2024 and December 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (ERAS pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program) or the control group (routine rehabilitation care). Primary outcome measures included changes in pulmonary function indicators at postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Secondary outcomes included changes in exercise function, postoperative complications, and other rehabilitation indicators.
resultsA total of 202 patients were enrolled, with 100 in the intervention group and 102 in the control group. The intervention group showed significantly better improvements in pulmonary function indicators (FVC, FEV1, PEF, MEF75, and Borg score) on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5 compared to the control group. The time×group interaction effects were statistically significant (P<0.05). On postoperative day 5, the intervention group also demonstrated superior exercise capacity, grip strength, and ADL scores in the 6-minute walk test compared to the control group (P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of postoperative complications, such as atelectasis and deep vein thrombosis, was lower in the intervention group (P<0.05). The intervention group had significantly shorter postoperative recovery times, including time to first bowel movement, time to first ambulation, antibiotic use, hospital stay, and hospitalization costs compared to the control group (P<0.05).
conclusionsThe implementation of an ERAS-based pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program effectively promotes postoperative pulmonary recovery, reduces complications, and enhances activities of daily living, showing promising clinical applicability. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This study supports the integration of ERAS-based pulmonary rehabilitation into perioperative care for liver resection patients to enhance pulmonary function, accelerate recovery, and improve overall postoperative outcomes.
