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

Objective: ERAS protocols in major gynaecologic oncology surgery (MGOS), have established effectiveness in reducing complications, Length of Stay (LOS), and hospital costs. Their implementation appears to improve patient care compared to conventional perioperative practice. This study assessed the efficacy of ERAS protocol versus conventional postoperative care in the recovery of patients undergoing major gynaecological oncology surgery (MGOS). Methods: A prospective, randomized, single-centre study. A sample size of convenience included 101 patients with gynaecological cancer who underwent MGOS. Patients randomized into two groups: in group A (n=51, 50.5%), patients allocated to the ERAS protocol, and in group B (n=50, 49.5%), patients followed conventional care. Results: The mean age in group A was 52.8 years and in group B 56.7 years (p = 0.1). In the ERAS group the LOS was significantly lower compared to the control group, mean 3.9 versus 5.9 days (p < 0.001). All indicators of recovery, such as mobilisation, feeding, bowel motility , discontinuation of intravenous (IV) administration, catheter and drainage removal in the first 24 hours, were significantly improved in patients in the ERAS group. Furthermore complications in patients in the ERAS group, such as fever, urinary tract infection, and perioperative bleeding, were also significantly lower.Conclusion: Within the limitations of a small single centre RCT, ERAS protocol in MGOS appeared to promote early enteral feeding, discontinuation of IV fluids, early gastrointestinal motility , faster removal of drainage and bladder catheter, faster patient standing and mobilisation, fewer requirements for blood transfusion, lower rate of drowsiness and sedation and episodes postoperative fever and leukocytosis.
