Satisfaction rate of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy as day-case surgery compared to conventional hospitalization: a prospective non-randomized study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeDay-case surgery (DCS) has boomed over recent years. However, day-case bariatric surgery remains controversial due to a lack of evaluation. The objective of this study was to compare the experiences and satisfaction with general anesthesia of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as DCS compared to conventional hospitalization.
methodsBetween January 2015 and June 2016, all patients undergoing primary SG as day-case surgery or with conventional hospitalization were prospectively included in this non-randomized, non-inferiority study comparing the level of satisfaction of patients undergoing SG with conventional hospitalization (CH group, gold standard) versus SG as DCS (DCS group). The primary efficacy endpoint was comparison of the overall satisfaction rate using the EVAN-G questionnaire. The secondary endpoints were evaluation of the 6 dimensions of the EVAN-G questionnaire, discharge from hospital, adhesion with SG management and overall satisfaction with SG.
resultsOne-hundred and twenty-four patients met the inclusion criteria (62 in both groups). The DCS group was younger with fewer comorbidities (p ≤ 0.01) and had a lower BMI (p ≤ 0.01). Overall, the mean EVAN-G questionnaire score was 66.4 (63.9-68.9) for the DCS group and 68.9 (65.9-71.8) for the CH group (non-inferiority of DCS group). In the DCS group, 19% of patients would have preferred to spend the night in hospital, while 82% of patients in the CH group would have preferred DCS and a total of 75% of patients reported a high level of satisfaction.
conclusionOverall satisfaction of patients undergoing SG as day-case surgery was not inferior to that of patients managed by conventional hospitalization.
