Same-day discharge on laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients: an outcomes review.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 objective of this research was to study safety and outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on an ambulatory outpatient basis. As the prevalence of morbid obesity increases, more patients are opting for surgical weight loss as a means to combat their chronic disease. There are several studies demonstrating the safety and feasibility of select patients undergoing LRYGB on a 23-h outpatient basis, but few studies exist regarding the safety and efficacy of these procedures being performed on an ambulatory outpatient basis.
methodsA retrospective review was completed on all patients who underwent a laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure from 2008 to 2018 at a single outpatient ambulatory surgery center. Median BMI was 46.7 kg/m
resultsThere were 398 patients who underwent a LRYGB on an ambulatory basis. After thorough chart review, a total of 362 patients were included. The majority were women (315, 87%). The median age was 42 (range 19-65). Seven (1.93%) patients were directly admitted to the hospital, while 13 (3.59%) patients were admitted to the hospital after initial discharge. There were 3 (0.83%) leaks, 4 (1.11%) bleeds requiring transfusion, no wound infections, 1 (0.28%) obstruction, one (0.28%) venous thrombotic event and/or pulmonary embolism, and 9 (2.49%) reoperations. There were zero deaths.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is both feasible and safe when performed on select patients on an ambulatory outpatient basis.
