Predicting Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Surgery with an Enhanced Recovery Pathway.
Trial report in World journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundReducing postoperative complications is the essential requirement of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program. This study aimed to identify the key perioperative components affecting postoperative complications in patients undergoing colorectal surgery with ERAS.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent major colorectal surgery with ERAS program between February 2019 and June 2020, all perioperative information was retrieved from a database. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors for complications within 30 days postoperatively, and a nomogram model was drawn to visualize the model. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model performance.
resultsWe enrolled 649 patients and 72 patients (11.1%) had at least 1 complication within 30 days postoperatively. Multivariate analyses showed that minimally invasive surgery [odds ratio (OR) 0.323; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.168-0.620] was associated with a decreased of the complications. However, preoperative anemia (OR 2.052; 95%CI 1.073-3.928) and old age (OR 1.927; 95%CI 1.022-3.632) were independent risk factors for complications within 30 days postoperatively. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.735 (95%CI 0.694-0.776). Calibration curve showed a relatively good agreement between predicted value and observed outcome. In the validation set, the nomogram showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.729 (95%CI 0.680-0.778).
conclusionsThis study suggests that preoperative anemia, old age and minimally invasive surgery may individually influence the prognosis of patients undergoing major colorectal surgery with an enhanced recovery pathway. Trial registration Clinical Trial Registry (number: ChiCTR2000037513).
