Outcomes of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in Cesarean Deliveries: A Retrospective Cohort Study from Saudi Arabia.
Article in Saudi journal of medicine & medical sciences. 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: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have gained global recognition for improving surgical outcomes, including in cesarean section (CS) deliveries. However, evidence regarding their implementation and impact within the Saudi Arabian context remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety profile and effectiveness of ERAS protocols compared to traditional care in CS deliveries at a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A matched retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Women who underwent CS and received ERAS-based perioperative management between January 2020 and October 2021 were compared with those who received traditional care between October 2018 and January 2019. The primary outcome was postoperative complications; other outcomes included 30-day readmission rates, total hospital length of stay (LOS), and postoperative LOS. Results: A total of 516 women were included (258 in each group). The ERAS group demonstrated significantly shorter median total hospital LOS (2 vs. 5 days; Conclusion: ERAS protocols for CS deliveries were found to be safe, effective, and feasible in a tertiary Saudi setting. Their implementation resulted in shorter hospital stays, reduced complications, and lower readmission rates, supporting broader adoption across similar healthcare contexts.
