More frequent requests for day-case cataract surgery : An impressive mind switch in the Austrian population within 7 years.

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
backgroundCataract surgery is the most commonly performed elective surgical procedure worldwide. While the operation has been mainly conducted as day-case (outpatient) surgery throughout the world since the beginning of this millennium, this development has been much slower in Austria. The number of patients requesting day-case surgery has markedly increased in the last few years.
methodsPrior to the introduction of a day clinic at our department in 2007, we evaluated the patients' acceptance of day-case surgery using a questionnaire. At the time, less than half of the patients wished to undergo day-case surgery. Another survey was performed 7 years later to determine if there were any changes.
resultsThe desire for day-case surgery increased significantly from 38.8 to 87.1%. The mean age of the patients and their visual impairment had decreased. Home care improved, but not to the same extent. The number of patients who had to travel more than an hour to reach the hospital had significantly increased.
conclusionsImprovements in perioperative limitations and most of all patients becoming accustomed to the idea have led to an impressive mind switch, culminating in a clear desire for day-case cataract surgery.
