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

backgroundAlthough the 2021 Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) provide recommendations for ERAS in gastrointestinal surgery, the clinical application of standard ERAS nursing models is challenging due to the variety of diseases involved in gastrointestinal surgery and the complex factors contributing to patient stress responses. Moreover, stress responses are more severe in older adult patients. Therefore, precision medicine is required to improve the quality of nursing care and promote postoperative recovery in gastrointestinal surgery.

aimTo establish an evidence-based ERAS model based on stress response nursing care and demonstrate nursing benefits through clinical practice.

methodsThis randomized clinical trial first established an evidence-based nursing ERAS protocol in older adult patients based on literature related to perioperative nursing measures for gastrointestinal surgery stress response. Next, 392 older adult patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery and were admitted to our hospital between December 2021 and June 2023 were categorized into two groups to receive evidence-based (study group) or conventional (control group) ERAS nursing models, respectively. Intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery and postoperative recovery indicators were compared between the groups.

resultsAmong 64 domestic and international studies, the stress responses of older adult patients mainly included emotional anxiety, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal discomfort, physical weakness, pain, and swelling. The appropriate nursing interventions included comprehensive psychological counseling, pre- and postoperative nutritional support, temperature control, pain management, and rehabilitation training. Compared with the control group, the study group showed lower heart rate, mean arterial pressure, blood glucose level, and adrenaline level; shorter duration of drainage tube placement, time to first flatus, time to first ambulation, and postoperative hospital stay; lower anxiety scores on postoperative day 3; and lower incidences of postoperative infection, obstruction, poor wound healing, and gastrointestinal reactions were lower in the study group (all

conclusionThe evidence-based nursing measures targeting stress responses based on the conventional ERAS nursing model resulted in stable intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery, promoted postoperative recovery, and reduced the incidence of complications.
