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

Limited surgical capacity remains a major barrier to timely care, particularly in resource-constrained health systems. An estimated five billion people lack access to safe and affordable surgical care, emphasizing the need to improve efficiency within existing resources. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve postoperative recovery through standardized perioperative care, and higher protocol adherence is associated with better clinical outcomes. However, the broader health-system effects of ERAS adherence, particularly on hospital bed utilization and surgical capacity, remain insufficiently quantified. This study evaluated the association between ERAS adherence and postoperative outcomes and estimated its impact on hospital bed utilization.
