Compliance with enhanced recovery after surgery predicts long-term outcome after hepatectomy for cholangiocarcinoma.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has been proved to improve postoperative outcome for many surgical procedures, including liver resection. There was limited evidence regarding the feasibility and benefit of ERAS in patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma.
aimTo evaluate the feasibility of ERAS in patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma and its association with patient outcomes.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 116 cholangiocarcinoma patients who underwent hepatectomy at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University between January 2015 and December 2016. The primary outcome was the compliance with ERAS. To determine the association between ERAS compliance and patient outcomes. the patients were categorized into those adhering more than and equal to 50% (ERAS ≥ 50), and below 50% (ERAS < 50) of all components. Details on type of surgical procedure, preoperative and postoperative care, tumor location, postoperative laboratory results, and survival time were evaluated. The compliance with ERAS was measured by the percentage of ERAS items achieved. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis.
resultsThe median percentage of ERAS goals achieved was 40% (± 12%). Fourteen patients (12.1%) were categorized into the ERAS ≥ 50 group, and 102 patients were in the ERAS < 50 group. Postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ERAS ≥ 50 group [8.9 d, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.3-10.4 d] than in the ERAS < 50 group (13.7 d, 95%CI: 12.2-15.2 d) (
conclusionOverall ERAS compliance for patients who underwent liver resection for cholangiocarcinoma is poor. Greater ERAS compliance could predict in-hospital, short-term, and long-term outcomes of the patients.
