Effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery in elderly hepatolithiasis patients after partial hepatectomy.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) aims to reduce patients' stress response during the perioperative period through a series of evidence-based optimization measures, promoting rapid rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ERAS in this high-risk group, with particular attention to the recovery of liver function, gastrointestinal function, and postoperative complications, all of which are critical to improving outcomes in elderly patients and have not been thoroughly investigated in previous studies. Methodology: The clinical data of elderly patients with hepatolithiasis who underwent partial hepatectomy in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the ERAS and the control groups according to whether they received ERAS during the perioperative period. The perioperative indexes, liver function indexes, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 141 patients met the inclusion criteria: 73 patients in the ERAS group and 68 patients in the control group. After operation, the first exhaust time and postoperative hospital stay in the ERAS group were significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). Five days after the operation, levels of aminotransferase (ALT) in the ERAS group were significantly lower, and albumin (ALB) levels were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). ERAS was associated with considerably lower total number of postoperative complications (P<0.05). Conclusions: The application of the ERAS concept in the perioperative period of partial hepatectomy in elderly patients with hepatolithiasis is safe and effective.
