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

With total hip arthroplasty no longer an inpatient only procedure, this study retrospectively evaluated the percentage of same day, outpatient (<24 h) and inpatient (>24 h) discharges between 543 standard discharge (SDP) and 372 rapid discharge (RDP) patients. Outpatient discharges increased from 31.9% with SDP to 87.4% with RDP (p < 0.001) and 16.4% achieving same day discharge. Patients not achieving outpatient discharge were more commonly older (odds ratio (OR):1.052, p = 0.003), female (OR:2.715, p = 0.003) and a higher comorbidity classification (OR:2.751, p = 0.002). The 12.6% of patients failing to achieve outpatient discharge suggests that careful patient selection may be necessary to obtain 100% success.
