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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction Wilms tumor is the most common (90%) renal tumor in children. With the recent advances survival rate approaches 90%. This study was designed to identify factors associated with early recovery and hospital discharge, a step forward in the future development of early recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in children.  Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted from May 2020 to February 2022 among children up to the age of 18-years with a diagnosis of primary malignant renal tumors who underwent radical nephrectomy. Baseline parameters (preoperative), intraoperative, and postoperative components were analyzed. A univariable and multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the factors leading to early discharge. The data were entered into SPSS version 20 (IBM Inc., Armonk, USA), and a p-value ≤0.05 was statistically significant. Results A total of 44 patients with malignant renal tumors were managed with a mean age at diagnosis of 4.06±3.00 years. Twenty-six (59.1%) were male and 18 (40.9%) were female. All the patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Wilms tumor was the most common pathology found in 41 (93.1%) patients; 19 (43.0 %) had stage I, 21 (47.7%) stage II, and four (9.1%) stage III disease. Thirty-four (77.3%) patients had a nasogastric tube placed postoperatively. Median blood loss (BL) was 40 ml (range: 5-250), and the median operative time was two hours (range: 1-4). The median postoperative day to mobilization was one day (range: 1-3), to clear liquids was two days (range: 1-3), and advanced to regular diet was three days (range: 2-5). The median postoperative day of discharge (from surgery to discharge) was four days (range: 2-7), with 31 (70.5%) patients discharged early. Conclusion Our findings indicate that early removal of tube, mobilization, and re-feedings were significantly associated with the early hospital discharge, while the other analyzed factors were not statistically significant. Furthermore, our findings are important in the future development and implementation of ERAS protocol in pediatric oncological resections.
