Review in International journal of surgery open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05352984 (Risk Factors Assessment and Postponement Rate of Elective Surgical Procedures in Tertiary Care Public Sector Hospitals, Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan-A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 96 papers, 11 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundCancellation of operation on the intended day of surgery affects the efficiency of Operation Room which incurs a significant financial loss for the patient, hospital, and health care cost of a country at large. This systematic and Meta-Analysis was intended to provide evidence on the global prevalence and determinants of case cancellation on the intended day of surgery.

methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/Medline; Science direct and LILACS from January 2010 to May 2020 without language restriction. The Heterogeneity among the included studies was checked with forest plot, χ2 test, I2 test, and the p-values. All observational studies reporting prevalence and determinants were included.

resultsA total of 1207 articles were identified from different databases with an initial search. Fort-eight articles were selected for evaluation after the successive screening. Thirty-three Articles with 306,635 participants were included. The Meta-Analysis revealed that the global prevalence of case cancellation on the intended day of surgery was 18% (95% CI: 16 to 20). The Meta-Analysis also showed that lack of operation theatre facility accounted for the major reason for cancellation followed by no attendant and change in medical condition.

conclusionThe meta-analysis revealed that the prevalence of case cancellation was very high in low and middle-income countries and the majorities were avoidable which entails rigorous activities on operation theatre facilities, preoperative evaluation and preparation, patient and health care provider communications. REGISTRATION: This Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis was registered in a research registry (
