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

backgroundThe Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society has overseen the development and publication of more than two dozen specialty-specific guidelines and consensus statements. We conducted an appraisal of existing guidelines to compare and contrast recommendations to identify overarching themes regarding the current role and future direction of those guidelines for clinicians and researchers.

methodsAfter deriving a list of potential perioperative interventions associated with an ERAS program, specialty-specific guidelines were evaluated on the basis of their inclusion and the strength of the grade of those elements.

resultsFollowing appraisal of the existing ERAS guidelines, a list of common interventions emerges, which includes pre-, intra-, and postoperative care elements that are endorsed by the overwhelming majority of surgical specialties. However, this perioperative rubric should be modifiable to include a broader range of potential perioperative elements, where appropriate, based on literature specific to those subspecialty surgeries.

conclusionsMore uniform consensus regarding common care elements is likely to contribute to greater harmony in guidelines development as well as the development of process measures and outcome definitions. Guidelines can thus foster the creation of data repositories, establish program benchmarks, and contribute to future research and knowledge transfer.
