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

The ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols are multimodal perioperative pathways that accelerate patient recovery. Despite the widespread adoption of ERAS protocols in a variety of surgical subspecialties (i.e. colorectal, bariatric, orthopedic surgery), their use in esophageal surgery is still debated. Although still not universally accepted, an increasing number of institutions are adopting the ERAS protocols for esophagectomy. In this review, we sought to provide a comprehensive summary of the components of ERAS protocols following esophagectomy, encompassing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. Furthermore, we sought to examine variations in the most recent ERAS guidelines and identify gaps that future researchers need to address to achieve consensus on universally accepted ERAS guidelines.
