Risk Factors Associated with Prolonged Hospital Stay and Readmission in Patients After Primary Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introductionThe introduction of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has resulted in a decrease in length of hospital stay of patients after bariatric surgery. The general length of hospital stay is 1 day. Some bariatric patients stay longer after an uncomplicated procedure or are readmitted for varying reasons.
objectivesThe aim of the present study is to identify risk factors associated with prolonged hospital stay and readmissions.
methodsA retrospective study of all patients who underwent a primary procedure (i.e. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) between January 2016 and January 2019 was performed.
resultsA total of 1669 patients who underwent primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (70.7%) or sleeve gastrectomy (29.3%) were included. The median length of stay was 1 day (range 1-69 days). In 138 patients (8.3%), a postoperative complication was diagnosed and 89 patients were readmitted (5.3%) within 30 days after discharge. Overall, 348 patients (20.9%) stayed longer than 1 day. Univariable analysis showed that depression, ASA III, sleeve gastrectomy and a perioperative and/or postoperative complication were significantly (p value < 0.05) associated with a prolonged stay. In the multivariable model depression, sleeve gastrectomy and postoperative complication were independent risk factors for prolonged stay. Univariable analysis of risk factors associated with readmission identified depression and perioperative and postoperative complications. Multivariable analysis for readmission demonstrated only presence of a postoperative complication was an independent risk factor.
conclusionDepression, sleeve gastrectomy and postoperative complications were independent risk factors for prolonged stay. Postoperative complication was an independent risk factor for readmission.
