Enhanced recovery after colorectal surgery is a safe and effective pathway for older patients: a pooling up analysis.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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
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
purposeThe current study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of Enhanced Recovery after surgery (ERAS) in older patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
methodsThree databases including PubMed, Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane Library were used for searching eligible studies on Jun 8
resultsFinally, there were fourteen studies involving 5961 patients enrolled in this study. As for surgical outcomes, we found that the older group had more overall complications (OR = 1.41, I
conclusionAlthough ERAS could accelerate postoperative recovery and reduce postoperative complications, older patients who received ERAS still had higher complication incidence than younger patients. Although the proportion of re-hospitalizations was lower and the OS was better, doctors could not rely too much on ERAS. More measures were needed to improve the outcomes of colorectal surgery in older patients.
