Effects of postoperative oral carbohydrate intake immediately on the quality of recovery: a propensity score-matched and multivariate analysis.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative oral carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation immediately compared with plain water in improving recovery outcomes in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty (KA). Additionally, we analyzed the influence of perioperative factors on the quality of postoperative recovery.
methodsWe included 200 patients who underwent knee arthroplasty between August 2022 and August 2024. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for confounding variables and group differences. Multivariate logistic regression identified factors impacting the quality of recovery.
resultsAfter 1:1 PSM, the carbohydrate group comprised 78 patients, and the water group included 78 patients. The results indicated that postoperative oral carbohydrate supplementation improved the QoR-15 score at 24 h (123.7 ± 12.9 vs. 119.7 ± 12.5, p = 0.049). It also reduced HOMA-IR at 24 h (p < 0.001), decreased hunger and anxiety levels at 6 h (p < 0.001), shortened the time to first flatus and bowel movement (p < 0.001), and reduced the duration of hospital stay (p = 0.001). Female sex (OR = 0.455, p = 0.015), lower BMI (OR = 0.846, p = 0.005), and intraoperative music intervention (OR = 3.050, p < 0.001) were significant factors for improving recovery.
conclusionsPostoperative oral carbohydrate supplementation immediately improves recovery quality, reduces HOMA-IR, alleviates hunger and anxiety, and accelerates gastrointestinal recovery in knee arthroplasty patients. Sex, BMI, and intraoperative music are significant factors affecting recovery outcomes.
