Enhanced recovery after surgery in older patients with total Knee Arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: With aging, knee joint problems and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to improve knee function have increased in older persons. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to aid recovery, but their impact on older TKA patients is uncertain. Methods: This study employs a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the effects of ERAS on older patients with TKA from randomized controlled trials. PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were searched, and the Analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 software. Results: The ERAS group showed a significantly shorter length of hospital stay, fewer postoperative complications, and no significant difference in readmission rates compared to the control group. Regarding pain management, the ERAS group had significantly lower VAS scores on the first two postoperative days, reduced analgesic use, and lower hospitalization costs, demonstrating clear clinical advantages. Conclusion: ERAS accelerates older patients' TKA recovery, reducing hospital stays and complications, and has important clinical implications.
