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

Objective: To investigate the effect of a sequential olive oil-lactulose approach within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway on perioperative bowel management and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Methods: A total of 204 patients who underwent day-case laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between June 2024 and June 2025 were divided into two groups according to bowel-preparation regimen: a study group ( Results: The study group showed a significantly higher bowel-preparation compliance and tolerance than the control group (100% vs. 95.1%; 96.1% vs. 68.6%; Conclusions: Within the ERAS pathway, the sequential approach of olive oil and lactulose significantly improved bowel preparation compliance and tolerance in patients undergoing daytime laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. This approach accelerated gastrointestinal function recovery, shortened hospital stays, reduced complication rates, alleviated postoperative pain, and enhanced patient satisfaction.
