The transition of total elbow arthroplasty into the outpatient theater.
Article in JSES international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundOutpatient total joint arthroplasty is increasing in frequency as reimbursement models change. Potential benefits include same-day surgery for patients and decreased exposure to nosocomial pathogens. This study aims to determine if total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is also trending toward an outpatient setting, and if there is any impact on complication rates as a result.
methodsA retrospective chart review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was performed. Specifically, the database was queried for all patients with CPT code 24363 from 2010-2017. The percentage of TEAs performed each year as an outpatient was trended from 2010-2017. Additionally, the complication rate between the inpatient and outpatient cohorts was compared.
resultsA total of 524 TEAs were analyzed. Of these, 111 procedures (21.2%) were performed as an outpatient. There was a statistically significant increase in the percentage of outpatient TEAs from 2010-2017 (
conclusionsThere is a significant trend toward TEA being performed as an outpatient procedure, with more than one-third currently being performed in this manner. In our study, there was no difference in the complication rate between inpatient and outpatient TEAs; in fact, outpatient TEAs trended toward having a lower complication rate than inpatient TEAs. Taken together, the outpatient setting comprises an ever-increasing segment of TEA without an increase in morbidity to patients.
