Enhancing postoperative recovery in robotic-assisted prostatectomy: a randomized trial of LEARNS model, auricular acupressure, and intestinal rehabilitation.

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
Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) frequently leads to postoperative gastrointestinal complications, delaying recovery. This study assessed the effectiveness of combining the LEARNS nursing model with auricular acupressure and intestinal rehabilitation techniques to enhance postoperative recovery in RARP patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 256 male patients undergoing RARP. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 128), receiving the LEARNS model combined with auricular acupressure and intestinal rehabilitation nursing, or a control group (n = 128), receiving conventional postoperative care. Primary outcomes included the time to first postoperative exhaust, bowel sound recovery, first defecation, severity of abdominal distension, and duration of hospital stay. Compared to the control group, the intervention group demonstrated significantly shorter bowel sound recovery time (4.45 ± 0.87 vs. 5.21 ± 1.02 h, P < 0.001), earlier first exhaust (24.35 ± 2.75 vs. 30.25 ± 2.15 h, P < 0.001), and earlier first defecation (75.35 ± 4.23 vs. 83.52 ± 6.53 h, P < 0.001). The intervention group also experienced significantly reduced severity of abdominal distension and shorter postoperative hospital stays (5.28 ± 1.22 vs. 6.56 ± 1.08 days, P < 0.001). Integrating the LEARNS nursing model with auricular acupressure and intestinal rehabilitation substantially accelerates gastrointestinal recovery following RARP. Embedding this evidence-based, multimodal nursing protocol into routine perioperative care pathways may reduce postoperative morbidity, shorten hospital stay, and optimise healthcare resource utilisation, thereby providing considerable clinical value.
