Effects of implementing an "enhanced recovery after surgery" program on patients undergoing resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
purposeTo evaluate the effects of implementing an "enhanced recovery after surgery" (ERAS) program on the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of extensive and potentially curative liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsWe compared clinicopathologic factors, surgical factors, and outcomes of patients who underwent extended hepatectomy (defined as resection of more than two sections) for HCC, before and after the introduction of an ERAS program.
resultsOperating times and postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter, and total volume infused during surgery was significantly lower, for the ERAS group than for the control group. Although the ERAS group had a significantly lower percentage of patients with retention of abdominal drainage, this group had a higher frequency of abdominal paracentesis in patients without intraoperative abdominal drainage. Oral dietary intake and the ability to walk steadily resumed significantly earlier in the ERAS group. Postoperative serum concentrations of albumin and cholinesterase were significantly higher in the ERAS group than in the control group.
conclusionsThe ERAS program was feasible and effective for patients with chronic liver disease undergoing extended liver resection for HCC, because it allowed earlier oral dietary intake and promoted faster postoperative recovery.
