The use of the ERAS protocol in malnourished and properly nourished patients undergoing elective surgery: a questionnaire study.
Article in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07442721 (Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Pericapsular Nerve Group Block For Analgesia In Hip Hemi Arthroplasty), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a modern approach to perioperative management. This study aimed to evaluate compliance with certain aspects of the ERAS protocol in malnourished and properly nourished patients undergoing elective surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsA questionnaire study was conducted among 197 patients undergoing elective surgery at the university hospital. We divided patients into two groups according to nutritional status.
resultsThe study's results showed that 67 patients (34%) lost weight before admission (the weight-loss group). Twenty-five participants (37%) in the weight-loss group and 15 patients (12%) in the preserved-weight group underwent surgery due to cancer ( P < 0.001). More patients in the weight loss group (45 of 67) than in the preserved-weight group (40 of 129, P < 0.001) limited their food intake a week before the surgery. The preserved-weight group participants were mobilized earlier than the weight-loss group ( P = 0.04). The median number of hours since drinking their last fluids and eating their last meals before the surgery were 12.2 hours and 25.4 hours for both groups, respectively. Only eight patients received preoperative carbohydrate loading. We found higher serum protein concentrations in the preserved-weight group (7.10 [0.5] vs. 6.92 [0.71], P = 0.023); however, white blood cell count was higher in the weight-loss group (7.85 (2.28) vs.7.10 (0.50), P = 0.04). Both groups were highly satisfied with their hospital treatments.
conclusionsOur study revealed relatively high malnutrition in patients undergoing elective surgery. As a standard of perioperative care in the studied centre, the ERAS protocol implementation level is low.
