Impact of an enhanced recovery after surgery pathway on thoracoscopic lobectomy outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer patients: a propensity score-matched study.

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
backgroundThis study evaluates the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways on postoperative outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients undergoing VATS lobectomy for NSCLC between January 2014 and October 2019 and assigned them to the relevant group ("pre-ERAS" or "ERAS"). Length of stay, readmissions and complications within 30 days were compared between both groups. A propensity score-matched analysis was performed based on sex, age, type of operation, comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and preoperative pulmonary functions.
resultsA total of 307 records (164 male/143 female; 140 ERAS/167 pre-ERAS; median age: 67) were reviewed. There was no statistical difference in patient's characteristics. Overall ERAS compliance was 81%. The ERAS group presented significantly shorter length of stay (median 5
conclusionsAdoption of an ERAS pathway for VATS lobectomies in NSCLC patients has decreased the length of hospital stay and the cardiopulmonary complication rate without affecting the readmission rate.
