Advancing abdominal surgery recovery implementation: a unified framework for intensified recovery protocols by the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking collaborative.
Article 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
Objective: To present the structure, implementation strategy, and early outcomes of the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) project, a multinational initiative designed to reduce variability in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) implementation across European surgical centers through a structured educational and protocol-driven framework. Methods: EUPEMEN was conducted as a 26-month, prospective, multinational implementation initiative funded by the Erasmus + Programme and involving five academic institutions across Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic. The project included protocol development, structured education, and dissemination strategies. Seven multidisciplinary procedure-specific Enhanced Recovery modules were developed using a modular design to allow adaptation across different healthcare systems. All materials were translated into five languages to enhance accessibility. A digital learning platform was created to host ten educational modules incorporating multimedia content and knowledge assessment tools. A train-the-trainer Learning Teaching Activity (LTA) was organized to prepare institutional representatives for local and national dissemination and multiplier events took place in participating countries to promote project dissemination. Process evaluation included participation metrics, structured governance monitoring, and documentation of implementation activities within participating hospitals. Results: Seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols covering major general surgical domains were successfully developed and disseminated. The online educational platform provided structured training and interactive assessment to registered users. Ten trainers participated in the LTA and subsequently supported national-level educational activities. Five multiplier events engaged 366 healthcare professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds. Enhanced Recovery implementation was achieved in all partner institutions with incorporation of monitoring elements for future adherence evaluation. Additionally, the Via RICA pathway was translated into English and Greek, further supporting international dissemination. Conclusion: The EUPEMEN project represents a coordinated, multilingual, and education-centered multinational strategy for harmonizing Enhanced Recovery implementation across heterogeneous healthcare systems. By integrating structured protocol design, train-the-trainer methodology, and digital educational infrastructure, the project provides a scalable framework for bridging the Enhanced Recovery implementation gap in Europe. Long-term follow-up is required to assess protocol adherence and clinical impact.
