The Effect of Goal-Directed Fluid Administration on Outcomes After Pancreatic Surgery.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe evaluated the effect of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol on intraoperative fluid administration and postoperative outcomes in pancreatic surgery.
methodsPancreatic cancer resections at our institution from 2012 to 2018 were grouped according to pre- or post-protocol initiation. Preoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared with Fisher's exact test and chi-square for categorical variables, and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables. Further analysis separated patients that had a Whipple from those who had distal pancreatectomy.
resultsA total of 263 patients underwent pancreatic cancer resection during the study period (169 Whipples, 84 DPs, 92 pre-ERAS and 171 post-ERAS). Intraoperative fluid administration significantly decreased after protocol implementation (mean 6,277 ml vs. 3870 ml, p < 0.001). This held true when separating patients that had a Whipple procedure from those that had a DP (6,929 ml vs. 4,513 ml, p < 0.001, 5,060 ml vs. 2,833 cc, p = 0.002, respectively). Intensive care unit (ICU) admission (41.3% vs. 20.5%, p < 0.001) and length of stay (9.4 vs. 8.1 days, p < 0.01) were significantly reduced after ERAS implementation for all patients and in Whipple patients alone (47.5% vs. 23.6%, p = 0.002 and 10.7 vs. 6.6 days, p = 0.004). DP patients also had significantly decreased ICU admissions (41.3% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.045). All other postoperative outcomes were not significantly different.
conclusionFor patients undergoing pancreatic cancer resection, goal-directed fluid management is associated with decreased intraoperative fluid administration, decreased ICU admission, and decreased length of stay without an increase in postoperative complications or readmission.
