Short-term outcomes of laparoscopy combined with enhanced recovery pathway after ileocecal resection for Crohn's disease: a case-matched analysis.
Trial report in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02777034 (Short-Term Outcomes of Laparoscopy Combined With Enhanced Recovery Pathway After Ileocolon Resection for Crohn's Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopy combined with an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP) is widely considered to be the first-choice option for patients with colorectal cancer. However, no previous reports have focused on patients with Crohn's disease (CD) treated by laparoscopy and ERP.
methodsTwenty patients with CD underwent laparoscopic ileocecal resection with an ERP at two institutions. The ERP protocol included no bowel preparation nor fasting, no nasogastric tube, no abdominal drains, early removal of urinary catheter, early solid dietary intake and mobilization, opioid-sparing analgesia and restrictive fluid management. This group was compared with a matched historical control group of 70 CD patients who underwent laparoscopic ileocecal resection treated with conventional care.
resultsCompliance with the ERP was high (≥80 %) for all items except no drain placement. A significantly earlier return of bowel function (time to first flatus and stool) was observed in the ERP group. Mean postoperative and total length of stay were significantly shorter in the ERP group. Postoperative complications were similar in both groups.
conclusionsThis is the first reported experience of laparoscopy with ERP in CD patients and suggests that optimized perioperative care combined with minimally invasive techniques may lead to further improvements in surgical outcomes for CD patients.
