Knowledge and Awareness of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols Among Anesthesiologists: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundEnhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to reduce surgical stress and optimize postoperative recovery, yet anesthesiologists' knowledge of these protocols remains incompletely characterized.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey (May-August 2025) evaluated knowledge of general and surgery-specific ERAS protocols among anesthesiology specialists, faculty, and residents in Turkey using a 37-item questionnaire based on current ERAS Society guidelines; the primary outcome was the continuous knowledge score, with Bloom's cutoffs applied descriptively.
resultsAmong 380 participants (72.4% specialists/faculty, 27.6% residents), the mean standardized score was 68.5 ± 10.3; 47.6% (95% CI 42.7-52.7%) and 28.2% (95% CI 23.9-32.9%) had moderate and high knowledge, respectively. Professional title was independently associated with knowledge: scores were higher among specialists and faculty than residents (β = 5.92 and 6.79), and residents were less likely than specialists (OR 0.423) or faculty (OR 0.344) to fall in a higher knowledge category. Preoperative knowledge was lower than intraoperative/postoperative scores. Module-specific scores, interpreted descriptively because modules differ in item difficulty and subspecialty exposure, were highest in bariatric (74.6%) and lowest in colorectal surgery (49.8%).
conclusionsAnesthesiologists demonstrated predominantly moderate theoretical ERAS knowledge, with gaps in preoperative optimization and specific modules, indicating that curricula and continuing education may benefit from greater emphasis on these areas.
