Effect of clinical anesthesia preoperative evaluation on the length of preoperative period and total hospitalization of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAnesthesia preoperative evaluation clinics (APECs) are currently operating in several South Korean hospitals. While several studies have investigated the impact of APEC operations on the length of total hospital stay (LTHS), few have investigated their impact on the length of preoperative hospital stay (LPHS) for patients. In this study, we aimed to determine whether APEC affected the LPHS and LTHS.
methodsData of all patients who underwent surgery at Chungbuk National University Hospital between September 2009 and August 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the last 10 years were categorized into two groups: those who visited the APEC (Group A), and those who did not (Group B). The age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score, LPHS, and LTHS of the two groups were compared.
resultsThe LPHS was 1.03±0.2 days in Group A and 1.61±1.6 days in Group B. The LTHS was 4.77±1.9 days in Group A and 5.63±2.6 days in Group B. The LPHS and LTHS of the two groups differed by 0.58 and 0.9 days, respectively.
conclusionWe evaluated the effect of APEC operations on the LPHS and LTHS of inpatients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and observed a decrease in both the LPHS and LTHS. Understanding and accepting the importance of APEC is significant for physicians and administrators working to improve hospital efficiency and patient outcomes. Further research is needed to investigate the need and benefits of APECs.
