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

Purpose: Evaluate the effectiveness of implementing an ERAS protocol in octogenarians. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed patients undergoing colorectal surgery under the ERAS protocol at Boca Raton Regional Hospital from December 1, 2019 to October 30, 2021. Patients under the age of 18, undergoing emergency surgery, and with incomplete data were excluded. A Results: 299 patients met inclusion criteria with 60 (20.1 %) over the age of 80 and 239 (79.9 %) younger than 80. 140 (46.8 %) of the cohort were male. When comparing octogenarians with younger patients there were no differences in compliance with ERAS protocols such as pre-operative medication ( Conclusion: The ERAS protocol is safe and effective when used in the octogenarian without decreased compliance or increased complications. Increased LOS, care needed on disposition, and readmission are in-line with other published data of all patients and are likely related to increased frailty among this group and not to the addition of the ERAS protocol.
