Adoption of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocols in Breast Reconstruction in Alberta Is High before a Formal Program Implementation.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
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) techniques have consistently demonstrated improved patient outcomes across multiple surgical specialties. We have lead international consensus guidelines on ERAS protocols for breast reconstruction and recently implemented these guidelines in Alberta. This study looks at adoption rates of ERAS pathways for breast reconstruction within Alberta, whereas also addressing barriers to ERAS implementation.
methodsA retrospective analysis of online operative reports in the Synoptec database consisting of patients undergoing alloplastic or autogenous breast reconstruction in Alberta was conducted. Primary outcomes of interest included whether ERAS protocols were utilized and what the reported barriers to ERAS utilization were.
resultsOf the 372 patients undergoing breast reconstruction surgery, 215 (57%) patients were placed on an ERAS protocol. Autogenous reconstruction patients were more likely than alloplastic reconstruction patients to be placed on ERAS protocols (72% versus 53%,
conclusionsAdoption of ERAS protocols in Alberta was strong (57% adherence) before a formal program implementation. We are encouraged that the recent official launch of ERAS protocols in breast reconstruction within the province will further enhance the uptake and care of this unique surgical population.
