Correlation between inflammatory markers and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) failure in laparoscopic colectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate inflammatory markers to identify patients at risk of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) failure following laparoscopic colectomy.
methodsWe included patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy between September 2020 and February 2023. ERAS failure was defined as intolerance of a soft diet on postoperative day (POD) 2, postoperative stay > 7 days, or readmission within 30 days postoperatively. Inflammatory markers were analyzed immediately postoperatively and on POD 1 and 3. All patients were subjected to the ERAS protocol and divided into success and failure groups.
resultsData from 402 patients (success, 330; failure, 72) were analyzed. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p < 0.001), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.004), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.041), and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR; p < 0.001) were elevated in the failure group on POD 3. The immediate postoperative CAR was higher in the failure group (p = 0.045). ERAS failure occurred more frequently in patients with body mass index < 20 (p < 0.001), right colon tumors (p = 0.012), and longer operative time (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that inflammatory markers are associated with ERAS failure. Among the inflammatory markers, CAR might be the most potent indicator of ERAS failure following laparoscopic colectomy.
