A surgical hospitalist system in Korea: a preliminary study of the effects on hospital costs and postoperative outcomes.
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the surgical hospitalist system on postoperative outcomes and hospital costs for surgical patients.
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 522 patients who were admitted to the divisions of colorectal and gastrointestinal surgery for operation from September to December 2017 at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea. All patients were divided into 2 groups; one that was managed by surgical hospitalists group (HG) and another that was managed by non-hospitalist residents group (NHG) after elective surgery. Postoperative outcomes and hospital costs were analyzed for each group.
resultsTwo hundred ninety-eight patients were managed by HG and 189 patients were managed by NHG after surgery. The length of hospital stay in the first group was shorter (9.6 ± 5.8 days
conclusionThe surgical hospitalist system reduced the length of hospital stay, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the readmission rates of surgical patients. This led to the effect of a reduction in total hospital costs.
