Adoption of an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocol for Neuromuscular Scoliosis Shortens Length of Hospital Stay.
Article in Spine surgery and related research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: We aimed to implement the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) surgery and to examine the effectiveness of this program in this study. Methods: Subjects were children with NMS who underwent scoliosis surgery at our department by a surgeon using a single posterior approach. A series of 27 cases before the introduction of ERAS and 27 cases during program stabilization were included in the study. Patient backgrounds did not show significant differences before and after introducing ERAS. Perioperative data, complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), and readmission within 90 days were investigated and statistically analyzed. Results: When the pre- and post-ERAS induction groups were compared, no significant differences in anesthesia induction time (p=0.979), pelvic fixation (p=0.586), fusion levels (p=0.479), intraoperative hypothermia duration (p=0.154), end-of-surgery body temperature (p=0.197), operative time (p=0.18), postoperative main Cobb angle (p=0.959), main Cobb angle correction rate (p=0.91), postoperative spino-pelvic obliquity (SPO) (p=0.849), and SPO correction rate (p=0.267) were observed. However, significant differences in using V-flap technique (p=0.041), intraoperative blood loss (p=0.001), and LOS (p=0.001) were observed. Intraoperative blood loss was weakly correlated with LOS (p=0.432 and 0.001). No statistically significant difference existed between the V-flap method and LOS (p=0.265). Multiple regression analysis using LOS as the objective variable and ERAS protocols and intraoperative blood loss as explanatory variables revealed that the effect of ERAS on LOS was greater than that of intraoperative blood loss. No statistically significant differences in the readmission rates within 90 days were found. Conclusions: After the introduction of ERAS, LOS decreased without an increase in complications or readmissions within 90 days.
