Enhanced recovery after surgery nursing improves postoperative outcomes in laparoscopic radical nephrectomy: a cumulative meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Renal carcinoma is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system worldwide. Given substantial evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) care on recovery following laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer, in this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize relevant studies and evaluate the application value of ERAS care in this context. Methods: We searched databases such as PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, OVID, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and the China Biological Literature Database for clinical studies comparing ERAS care with traditional perioperative care in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer, up to December 2025. Two independent reviewers performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies. A cumulative meta-analysis was conducted using Stata version 12.0. Results: A total of 26 relevant studies were included, comprising 24 randomized controlled studies and two quasi-experimental studies, involving 2,361 patients (1,172 in the ERAS care group and 1,189 in the traditional care group). The cumulative meta-analysis results indicated that patients receiving ERAS care experienced significantly earlier times to first anal exhaust, first feeding, first urination time after surgery, first defecation, catheter encumbrance time, first-time out-of-bed activity, length of hospital stay and removal time of drainage tube postoperatively. Furthermore, and postoperative hospital stay were shorter in the ERAS group. The ERAS group also demonstrated a lower overall incidence of postoperative total complications and higher patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The application of ERAS care in laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cancer can accelerate postoperative recovery, shorten postoperative hospital stay, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. However, because of potential heterogeneity among the included studies, these conclusions warrant further validation by more high-quality research.
