Outcomes after implementing the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for patients undergoing tuberculous empyema operations.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols provide recommendations for care in various surgical fields. However, there is scarce information on the application of these protocols in tuberculous empyema surgery. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the outcomes of ERAS recommendations for patients who received tuberculous empyema surgery.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent tuberculous empyema surgery in our hospital from March 2011 to March 2016. The patients were divided into an ERAS group and a conventional control group. The main outcome measure was the postoperative median length of stay (including readmissions). Principles related to ERAS were documented, and the postoperative median hospital stay was analyzed statistically between the two groups.
resultsA total of 92 patients underwent 93 consecutive tuberculous empyema surgical treatments. The postoperative fasting time, chest tube duration, and length of stay were shorter in the ERAS group compared with the control group. The volume of chest tube drainage in the ERAS group was significantly smaller than that of the control group. No statistical differences were observed in the postoperative complications and reasons for readmission between the two groups.
conclusionsApplication of ERAS recommendations in patients receiving tuberculous empyema operations decreased the length of stay and chest tube drainage compared to the control group.
