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: The complexity of surgical management in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) demands the optimisation of perioperative care protocols to ensure optimal postoperative outcomes. Objectives: This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols compared to conventional perioperative care in patients undergoing surgery for DIE. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception till August 2024. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 software (Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020), with mean differences (MDs), pooled risk ratios (RR) and random-effects model. Quality assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias in Non-randomised Studies of Interventions and Risk of Bias tools. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcomes assessed were postoperative length of hospital stay and readmission rates. Secondary outcomes included Clavien-Dindo grade I-II and grade III or higher complication rates. Results: Four comparative studies were included, encompassing a total of 1,662 patients. ERAS protocols significantly reduced the mean length of hospital stay [MD: -2.88 days; 95% confidence interval (CI): -5.34 to -0.41; Conclusions: ERAS protocols appear to reduce the length of hospital stay without increasing complications or readmissions in DIE surgery. However, further large-scale randomised studies still needed to be conducted to confirm these findings. What is New?: The application of ERAS protocols is associated with better postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major surgeries for DIE.
