S136-operationalizing an enhanced recovery protocol after bariatric surgery: single institutional pilot experience forging data-driven standard work.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEnhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may help decrease length of stay (LOS) and postoperative nausea/vomiting but implementation is often fraught with challenges. The primary aim of this pilot study was to standardize a MBS ERP with a real-time data support dashboard and checklist and assess impact on global and individual element compliance. The secondary aim was to evaluate 30 day outcomes including LOS, hospital readmissions, and re-operations. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: An ERP, paper checklist, and virtual dashboard aligned on MBS patient care elements for pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases of care were developed and sequentially deployed. The dashboard includes surgical volumes, operative times, ERP compliance, and 30 day outcomes over a rolling 18 month period. Overall and individual element ERP compliance and outcomes were compared pre- and post-implementation via two-tailed Student's t-tests.
resultsOverall, 471 patients were identified (pre-implementation: 193; post-implementation: 278). Baseline monthly average compliance rates for all patient care elements were 1.7%, 3.7%, and 6.2% for pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases, respectively. Following ERP integration with dashboard and checklist, the intra-operative phase achieved the highest overall monthly average compliance at 31.3% (P < 0.01). Following the intervention, pre-operative acetaminophen administration had the highest monthly mean compliance at ≥ 99.1%. Overall TAP block use increased 3.2-fold from a baseline mean rate of 25.4-80.8% post-implementation (P < 0.01). A significant decrease in average intra-operative monthly morphine milligram equivalents use was noted with a 56% drop pre- vs. post-implementation. Average LOS decreased from 2.0 to 1.7 days post-implementation with no impact on post-operative outcomes.
conclusionImplementation of a checklist and dashboard facilitated ERP integration and adoption of process measures with many improvements in compliance but no impact on 30 day outcomes. Further research is required to understand how clinical support tools can impact ERP adoption among MBS patients.
