1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDespite an evidence-based protocol to facilitate same-day discharge (SDD) of patients undergoing elective intracoronary procedures, overnight hospitalization remains a routine practice.

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the frequency of SDD after intracoronary procedures among patients treated before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and identify factors predictive of a decision for SDD.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study (N = 680) was based on registry data of a cardiac ambulatory center.

resultsThe frequency of SDD was significantly higher in 2020 relative to 2019 (p < 0.001). No complication were identified during the next-day follow-up among SDD cohort. Compared to those who stayed overnight, SDD patients had a lower 30-day readmission rate (p < 0.001), but not 30-day mortality (p = 1.000). Radial access, some procedural-related and comorbidities of patients significantly predicted SDD.

conclusionsSDD is safe and feasible when a dedicated protocol has been implemented. The findings support the routine use of this practice.
