Perioperative outcomes of patients with restless legs syndrome: a single-center retrospective review.

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
STUDY
objectivesThere are multiple stressors in the perioperative period for patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) that may be implicated in the worsening of symptoms. Our primary objective was to compare the perioperative course of patients with RLS to patients without the diagnosis.
methodsThis was a single-center, matched-cohort, retrospective chart review of patients with RLS undergoing inpatient procedures from 2015-2019 matched 1:1 with patients without the diagnosis.
resultsPatients with RLS had a higher comorbidity burden; specifically, pulmonary, renal, diabetes mellitus, and congestive heart failure. The perioperative course was notable for higher maximum pain scores for patients with RLS in the postanesthesia care unit (odds ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-1.40;
conclusionsOur single-center retrospective review found that patients with RLS had higher pain scores in the postanesthesia care unit and on the first few postoperative days. Rapid-response team calls were more common in patients with RLS. RLS-triggering medications were significantly less likely to be used in patients with RLS. There were no significant differences in other postoperative events. CITATION: Gali B, Silber MH, Hanson AC, Portner E, Gay P.
