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

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for efficient use of hospital infrastructure. The hypothesis was that a rapid shift to outpatient surgery after hip or knee arthroplasty could be implemented without compromising quality of care. The aim of this study was to assess the safety, pain management and patient-reported outcomes before and after the implementation of an accelerated discharge program using a digital follow-up tool. A retrospective cohort design was used to compare 97 patients who received primary total hip or knee arthroplasty during the pandemic (early discharge) to comparable 194 pre-pandemic patients (normal discharge). Both cohorts had the same inclusion criteria and were closely monitored using the digital follow-up tool. The accelerated discharge program reduced length of stay from a median of 3 days (before the pandemic) to a median of 1 day (during the pandemic) (
