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.

Abstract

backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has been identified to be beneficial in the amount of operations such as gastrointestinal surgery. However, the efficacy and safety in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy/laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP/LRP) still remain controversial.

methodWe searched randomized controlled trials and retrospective cohort studies comparing ERAS versus conventional care for prostate cancer patients who have undergone RALP/LRP. ERAS-related data were extracted, and quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale and the Jadad scale.

resultAs a result, seven trials containing 784 prostate cancer patients were included. ERAS was observed to be significantly associated with shorter length of hospital stay (SMD - 2.55, 95%CI - 3.32 to - 1.78, P < 0.05), shorter time to flatus (SMD - 1.55, 95%CI - 2.26 to - 0.84, P < 0.05), shorter time to ambulate (SMD - 6.50, 95%CI - 10.91 to - 2.09, P < 0.05), shorter time to defecate (SMD - 2.80, 95%CI - 4.56 to - 1.04, P < 0.05), and shorter time to remove drainage tube (SMD - 2.72, 95%CI - 5.31 to - 0.12, P < 0.05). Otherwise, no significant difference was reported in other measurements.

conclusionsIn conclusion, ERAS can reduce length of hospital stay, time to flatus, time to defecate, time to ambulate, and time to remove drainage tube in prostate cancer patients who have undergone RALP/LRP compared with conventional care.
