Monitoring an Ongoing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Program: Adherence Improves Clinical Outcomes in a Comparison of Three Thousand Colorectal Cases.
Article in Clinics in surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
aimIn 2014, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was identified as an outlier for increased length of stay (LOS) after colorectal surgery. We subsequently implemented a comprehensive Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in January 2016, which is continually monitored to target areas for improvement. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a newly established ERAS program in a high-volume colorectal center over time.
methodThis was a retrospective cohort study, comparing 3000 sequential cancer patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery before and after ERAS implementation. Patients were divided into three groups (Pre-, Early, and Late ERAS). Adherence to ERAS process measures and outcomes (LOS, complications, and 30-day readmission) were compared among the three time periods.
resultsAdherence to ERAS metrics significantly increased over time, from a median of 25% Pre-ERAS to 67% Early and 75% Late ERAS (
conclusionInitiation of an ERAS program at a high-volume colorectal center was associated with decreased LOS, without increasing morbidity. Increased ERAS adherence was associated with a further decrease in LOS. Multidisciplinary monitoring to promote protocol adherence is necessary for maintaining a safe and effective ERAS program.
