Effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading versus oral rehydration solution on enhanced recovery after surgery in elective open gynecological surgeries: A prospective interventional study.

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
Background and Aims: Enhanced recovery after surgery recommends preoperative consumption of carbohydrate within 2 hours before elective surgery to reduce perioperative discomfort and improve patient outcome. Material and Methods: This prospective interventional study included 105 adult patients, undergoing elective open gynecological surgery under neuraxial anesthesia. Groups I, II, and III were administered commercially available preoperative carbohydrate drink, oral rehydration solution (ORS), and mineral water, respectively, at night and 3 hours before surgery. The primary objective was to assess the difference in hunger, thirst, anxiety, nausea, and fatigue using visual analog scale, postoperative blood sugar levels, and quality of recovery (QoR) 40 questionnaire among groups. Results: Severe hunger (22.9%), thirst (31.4%), and anxiety (34.3%) were experienced more in group III, while in group I and II, no patient had severe discomfort. The mean blood sugar levels in group III (111.3 ± 12.3, 129.4 ± 7.3) were higher compared to group I and II at both 1 hour and 24 hours after initiation of anesthesia. The mean QoR score was the highest in group I compared to group II and group III ( Conclusions: The overall effectiveness of commercially available preoperative carbohydrate solution was more compared to ORS and mineral water. The consumption of ORS drink resulted in less thirst and satisfactory outcomes due to its higher electrolyte content, making it a suitable option for low resource setting.
