Total Knee Arthroplasty in Ambulatory Surgery Centers: The New Reality!
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
By streamlining surgical care and eliminating postoperative hospitalization, the transition to ambulatory total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has the potential to improve efficiency and minimize the costs of care. However, practical, legal, and financial implications remain to be addressed. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has also yet to address concerns generated by the removal of TKA from the Inpatient-Only List and provide guidance on patient selection. Rolling out regulatory changes that impact high-volume procedures, such as TKA, in a short period of time and without appropriate feedback can only lead to further confusion. As surgeons, we are in a unique business model that requires us to constantly innovate to deliver high quality care, while also taking financial cuts as a result of our innovations.
