Enhanced recovery after surgery strategy to shorten perioperative fasting in children undergoing non-gastrointestinal surgery: A prospective study.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07016919 (Early vs Conventional Enteral Nutrition After Uncomplicated Paediatric Open appendectomy-a Randomised Control Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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

Abstract
backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery strategies are increasingly implemented to improve the management of surgical patients.
aimTo evaluate the effects of new perioperative fasting protocols in children ≥ 3 mo of age undergoing non-gastrointestinal surgery.
methodsThis prospective pilot study included children ≥ 3 mo of age undergoing non-gastrointestinal surgery at the Children's Hospital (Zhejiang University School of Medicine) from January 2020 to June 2020. The children were divided into either a conventional group or an ERAS group according to whether they had been enrolled before or after the implementation of the new perioperative fasting strategy. The children in the conventional group were fasted using conventional strategies, while those in the ERAS group were given individualized fasting protocols preoperatively (6-h fasting for infant formula/non-human milk/solids, 4-h fasting for breast milk, and clear fluids allowed within 2 h of surgery) and postoperatively (food permitted from 1 h after surgery). Pre-operative and postoperative fasting times, pre-operative blood glucose, the incidence of postoperative thirst and hunger, the incidence of perioperative vomiting and aspiration, and the degree of satisfaction were evaluated.
resultsThe study included 303 patients (151 in the conventional group and 152 in the ERAS group). Compared with the conventional group, the ERAS group had a shorter pre-operative food fasting time [11.92 (4.00, 19.33)
conclusionOptimizing fasting and clear fluid drinking before non-gastrointestinal surgery in children ≥ 3 mo of age is possible. It is safe and feasible to start early eating after evaluating the recovery from anesthesia and the swallowing function.
