The Claim
Patients with gastric cancer who undergo curative resection and maintain a baseline nutritional status with a mean BMI of approximately 24 kg/m² experience no significant benefit from additional digital interventions due to a ceiling effect.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Patients with gastric cancer who have recovered from surgery and maintain a normal body weight do not gain additional benefit from digital health programs because their recovery has already reached its maximum potential.
See the scientific wording
Patients with gastric cancer who undergo curative resection and enter a rehabilitation program with preserved baseline nutritional status (mean BMI ~24 kg/m²) may not benefit significantly from additional digital interventions due to a ceiling effect.
When the body has enough nutrients to fully support tissue repair and muscle maintenance after surgery, adding digital tools does not make the healing process any faster or stronger because the system is already working at its maximum capacity.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who had stomach cancer surgery and weren't underweight didn't get any extra benefit from using a fitness and nutrition app compared to just getting regular advice. The app worked fine, but it didn't help them recover better.
