Optimizing Postoperative Outcomes in Abdominal Surgery: The Role of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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.
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
backgroundThe enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to reduce surgical stress, enhance recovery, and minimize the length of hospital stays, thereby improving both clinical outcomes and the overall patient experience. The main objective of the study was to find the postoperative outcomes of abdominal surgery with respect to the role of ERAS protocols. METHODOLOGY: Data was
resultsThe mean age of patients in both groups was similar, with 55.4 (±10.2) years for the ERAS group and 54.8 (±9.8) years for the non-ERAS group. The gender distribution showed a slightly higher number of female patients in both groups. The average BMI was comparable between groups, with 26.3±4.5 kg/m² in the ERAS group and 26.5±4.7 kg/m² in the non-ERAS group. The time to first flatus was reduced from 52.3 (±10.4) hours in the non-ERAS group to 36.2±8.1 hours in the ERAS group (P < 0.001). Similarly, the time to first defecation was shorter in the ERAS group at 48.5±9.2 hours compared to 66.4±12.5 hours in the non-ERAS group (P < 0.001).
conclusionERAS protocols significantly improve postoperative outcomes in abdominal surgeries by reducing recovery times, complications, and hospital stays.
