1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aims: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are widely adopted in various surgeries to improve outcomes and reduce length of stay (LOS). However, their cost-effectiveness in spine surgery for children is unclear. Methods: Studies comparing ERAS with conventional pathways for spinal surgery in children with idiopathic scoliosis were included after scrutiny of electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, and Embase), Google Scholar, preprint, and clinical trial databases after the protocol was enroled in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023418323). Results: Twenty-five studies, including 15,399 patients, were included. Patients in the ERAS group had a significant reduction in LOS by -1.68 days [95% confidence interval (CI): -1.88, -1.47; I Conclusion: ERAS protocols in children's scoliosis surgeries significantly reduce treatment costs through decreased hospital stays, fewer complications, and less intraoperative blood loss.
