Early oral diet may enhance recovery from benign gynecologic surgery: A single center prospective study.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEarly dietary intake enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). There remains a gap in the recognition and implementation of early diet after surgery in medical institutions in Taiwan. This study aimed to investigate whether early oral intake after benign gynecologic surgery results in favorable outcomes in Taiwanese patients.
methodsThis was a prospective controlled nonrandomized cohort study. Patients who underwent benign gynecological surgery were included in the early- and conventional-diet groups. The primary outcome was length of hospital stay, and the secondary outcome was postoperative complications.
resultsForty and 38 patients were included in the early and conventional-diet groups, respectively. The early-diet group demonstrated significantly reduced length of hospital stay (the early-diet group, 2.58 ± 0.93 days; conventional-diet group, 4.16 ± 1.13 days; p < 0.001). No increase in postoperative complications was observed in the early-diet group. Laparoscopic surgery reduced the length of hospital stay (β, -0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.22 to -0.08; p = 0.027), while an increased length of hospital stay was associated with higher visual analog scales (VAS, β, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.03-0.39; p = 0.026) and the conventional-diet group (β, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.65-1.61; p < 0.001) as assessed by multivariate regression analysis.
conclusionPatients who underwent benign gynecologic surgery tolerated an early oral diet well without an increase in complications. Laparoscopic surgery and lower pain scores also enhanced postoperative recovery.
