The effects of enhanced recovery after surgery on wound infection, complications, and postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing colorectal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 13 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on surgical site infections, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. A comprehensive search was conducted of PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data from database inception to April 2023 to identify relevant studies on the application of ERAS in colorectal surgery. Studies were screened, and data were extracted based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. A total of 22 studies, including 3702 patients (ERAS group: 1906; control group: 1796), were included in the final analysis. ERAS significantly reduced the incidence of surgical site infection (odds ratio [OR]: 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-0.69, p < 0.001), postoperative complications (OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.27-0.41, p < 0.001), and length of hospital stay (standardised mean difference: -1.22 days, 95% CI: -1.66 to -0.77 days, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that ERAS reduces the incidence of surgical site infections and postoperative complications and shortens the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Therefore, ERAS should be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
