Postoperative fasting is associated with longer ICU stay in oncologic patients undergoing elective surgery.
Article in Perioperative medicine (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05823649 (Effect of Early Versus Delayed Postoperative Feeding in Lower Limb Fracture Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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
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.

Abstract
backgroundCancer patients present nutritional and complications risks during the postoperative period. Fasting contributes to surgical catabolic damage. This study evaluates the consequence of fasting time on the surgical outcomes of cancer patients undergoing elective surgeries.
methodsProspective cohort, evaluating two categories of patients according to postoperative fasting: less than or greater than 24 h. OUTCOMES: Hospitalization time, 28-day mortality, ICU stay and infection rates. DISCUSSION: We included 109 patients (57% men, 60 ± 15 years, BMI: 26 ± 5 kg/m
