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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveMoyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive cerebrovascular disorder treated primarily with surgical revascularization to prevent stroke recurrence. Despite established surgical techniques, standardized perioperative care protocols remain limited, potentially leading to variable outcomes and perioperative complications. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have demonstrated improved outcomes across surgical disciplines but have not been systematically applied to cerebral bypass surgery for MMD. The objective was to develop evidence-based ERAS recommendations for perioperative management of patients undergoing direct cerebral bypass surgery for MMD, based on a systematic literature review and expert consensus.

methodsA multidisciplinary guideline development group was formed including cerebrovascular neurosurgery, neurointensive care, vascular neurology, neurophysiological monitoring, and anesthesiology experts. A comprehensive literature review of PubMed databases was conducted using systematic search strategies. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to evaluate evidence quality and recommendation strength.

resultsThirty-two studies met inclusion criteria for analysis. Seven primary categories of perioperative care were identified: patient selection, preoperative optimization, anesthesia and analgesia, intraoperative neuromonitoring, surgical strategy, postoperative management, and follow-up and recovery protocols. Strong recommendations were developed for 34 specific interventions across the perioperative continuum.

conclusionThis consensus statement provides the first comprehensive ERAS protocol for direct cerebral bypass surgery in patients with MMD. Implementation of these evidence-based recommendations may improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and standardize perioperative care.
