1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) reduces hospitalization and complication following colorectal surgery. Whether the experience of multidisciplinary ERAS team affects patients' outcomes is unknown.

aimTo evaluate and establish a learning curve of ERAS program for open colorectal surgery.

methodsThis was a review of prospectively collected database of 380 "unselected" patients undergoing elective "open" colectomy and/or proctectomy under ERAS protocol from 2011 (commencing ERAS application) to 2017 in a university hospital. Patients were divided into 5 chronological groups (76 cases per quintile). Surgical outcomes and ERAS compliance among quintiles were compared. Learning curves were calculated based on criteria of optimal recovery: defined as absence of major postoperative complications, discharge by postoperative day 5, and no 30-d readmission.

resultsHospitalization more than 5 d occurred in 22.6% (

conclusionA number of 76 colorectal operations are required for a multidisciplinary team to achieve a significantly higher rate of optimal recovery and high compliance with ERAS program for open colorectal surgery.
