ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) protocol improves recovery in surgical management of pediatric non-cirrhotic portal hypertension: evaluating results of pre and post-ERAS implementation.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
purposeStandardized perioperative pathways for pediatric non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (PHT) requiring complex portosystemic shunt surgery remain scarce. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to reduce surgical stress and optimize postoperative recovery. This study evaluates the impact of ERAS implementation on outcomes in children undergoing shunt procedures for PHT.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted over 18 years. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I (pre-ERAS,2006-2016) and Group II (post-ERAS,2016-2024). Demographics, surgical type, time to oral feeding, mobilization, drain usage, ICU stay, hospital stay, and 30-day readmissions were analyzed.
resultsA total of 103 patients (M/F: 50/53; mean age 8.4 ± 5 years) underwent shunt surgery. Fifty-one were treated before and 52 after ERAS implementation. Distal splenorenal shunt was most common (n = 74), followed by Rex shunt (n = 20) and other procedures (n = 9). ERAS was associated with significantly earlier oral feeding (1.1 vs.1.6 days, p = 0.007), earlier mobilization (1.15 vs.1.6 days, p = 0.046), markedly reduced drain use (1.9% vs. 23.5%, p = 0.001), shorter ICU stay (1.48 vs.1.9 days, p = 0.03), and nearly halved hospital stay (4.6 vs.8.5 days, p = 0.001). Thirty-day readmissions were similar.
conclusionERAS implementation in pediatric PHT surgery is feasible, safe, and associated with substantially improved recovery and standardized perioperative care.
