Evaluation of the feasibility of an "enhanced recovery after surgery" protocol for older patients undergoing colon cancer surgery.
Article in Journal of the anus, rectum and colon, 2018. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a protocol for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for colon cancer in older patients.
methodsOne hundred and fifty-nine patients enrolled in the ERAS group of our previous clinical study were divided according to age into an older group (n = 31; ≥80 years old) and a younger group (n = 128; <80 years old). We compared the two groups for clinical outcomes, including surgical complications, re-admission rates, and the time to discharge, based on criteria for hospital discharge. Compliance with each ERAS element was compared between groups.
resultsConcomitant diseases were present in all older patients (100%), but only in 57.8% of the younger group (
conclusionsFor older patients undergoing colon cancer surgery, an ERAS protocol might be feasible with a high implementation rate of the elements in the protocol.
