Fast Track Program in Conversion Bariatric Surgery, as Safe as in 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 5 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
objectivesEvaluate the safety of fast track (FT) surgery program in patients undergoing primary and revisional bariatric surgery (conversion from one procedure to another); identify limiting factors for early discharge and predictive factors for readmission.
methodsThis is a retrospective review of 730 consecutive morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2016 and December 2017. Fast track protocol was applied on all patients. Target discharge was after one-night stay. The primary end point is length of stay. The secondary end point is frequency of hospital contact after discharge, readmissions and reinterventions within 30 days.
resultsPrimary procedures (n = 633) were banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (BRYGB, 79.3%), sleeve gastrectomy (10.7%), gastric band (4.7%) and others (5.3%). Mean age (± SD) was 44.32 ± 11.26 years, and mean BMI (± SD) was 43.58 ± 6.12 kg/m
conclusionOne-night discharge in FT managed conversion procedures is safe, compared to primary procedures. It is associated with higher readmission rates; however, the postdischarge hospital contacts and surgical complications were not statistically significant different.
