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

backgroundTotal proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is widely regarded as a definitive surgical option for managing ulcerative colitis (UC). Enhanced recovery programs (ERP) have shown potential in better outcomes following surgery; however, their perioperative benefits in UC patients undergoing IPAA remain insufficiently investigated.

methodsThis study included UC patients who underwent IPAA between January 2008 and September 2023 across multiple affiliated centers within the China UC Pouch Center Union. Key outcomes analyzed included postoperative complications and long-term quality of life (QOL), assessed via the comprehensive complication index (CCI) and Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) instrument.

resultsA total of 216 patients were included, with a median follow-up of 8.0 years (interquartile range, 4.0-11.0 years); 62 patients underwent comprehensive ERP. Results indicated that ERP implementation significantly lowered CCI scores (p = 0.036), reduced the incidence of severe complications (CCI > 26.2, p = 0.019), shortened hospital stays (p = 0.046), and improved long-term QOL (p < 0.001). Non-adherence to ERP emerged as an independent risk factor for severe postoperative complications (odds ratio, 3.195; 95% confidence interval, 1.332-7.664; p = 0.009) and impaired QOL (odds ratio, 3.222; 95% confidence interval, 1.462-7.101; p = 0.004).

conclusionOur study provided supporting evidence for the application of perioperative ERP in a specific homogeneous cohort of UC patients undergoing IPAA to further improve clinical outcomes for them.
