1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Many researchers have implemented enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and found it effective over conventional care. This review investigates the efficacy and safety of such pathways compared to conventional practices. PubMed Central/Medline, Scopus, Ovid and clinicaltrials. gov were searched using relevant keywords to identify studies in which ERAS pathways for LC were compared to conventional pathways. The primary outcome was length of stay (LOS) from the day of surgery and the secondary outcomes were pain scores, postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV), readmissions (within 30 days after surgery), complications (medical and surgical), time to first flatus and cost. Out of 590 articles identified, six studies (n = 1,489 patients) fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were used for qualitative and quantitative analysis. On pooled analysis, LOS, time to first flatus, PONV and pain scores were significantly less in the ERAS group than in the conventional one, while readmission and complications were comparable in both groups.
