Internal audit of an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for radical cystectomy.

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 perform an internal audit 5 years after implementation of our enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for patients undergoing radical cystectomy and to investigate the importance of physician driven compliance on outcomes.
methodsUsing a prospectively maintained database, 472 consecutive patients were identified who underwent radical cystectomy with ERAS from July 2013 to July 2017. Compliance was measured by a Composite Compliance Score (CCS) generated as a percentage of 16 interventions. Patients with higher than median compliance were compared to patients with lower compliance. The primary outcome was length of stay. Secondary outcomes included complication and readmission rates. Multivariable regressions were used to control for differences between groups.
resultsIn 2013, median CCS was 81% and subsequently ranged from 81 to 88%. Five-year median CCS was 88%. Patients with higher compliance (CCS ≥ 88%, n = 262), as compared to those with lower compliance (CCS < 88%, n = 210), were younger (median 70.3 vs 72.7 years, p = 0.047), healthier (ASA3-4 81% vs 89.9%, p = 0.007), received more orthotopic diversions (59.2% vs 37.6%, p < 0.0001), more often had open surgery (78.5% vs 51.9%, p < 0.0001) and had shorter median operative times (5.5 vs 6.3 h, p = 0.005). Median length of stay was 4 days. Higher compliance was associated with shorter hospital stays (β = - 0.85, 95% CI - 1.62 to - 0.07) and decreased 30-day readmissions (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35-0.96).
conclusionsGreater ERAS compliance was achieved in younger and healthier patients. Patients with greater compliance had a decreased length of stay by almost 1 day and reduced odds of 30-day readmissions.
