Migration of Hospital Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Procedures to an Ambulatory Surgery Center Setting and Postsurgical Opioid Use: A Private Practice Experience.
Article in American health & drug benefits, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: An enhanced recovery pathway using individualized multimodal pain management with scheduled nonopioid and opioid regimens previously enabled reproducible same-day discharge of Medicare beneficiaries and commercially insured patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures in the hospital or in ambulatory surgery center settings. Objective: To analyze the migration trends for TKA and THA procedures from a hospital to an ambulatory surgery center facility and to assess perioperative outcomes before and after incorporating liposomal bupivacaine into a multimodal pain management regimen for these procedures. Methods: This retrospective medical chart review study included patients undergoing THA or TKA with an enhanced recovery pathway in a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center between 2013 and 2019. The outcome measures included length of stay at the hospital or the ambulatory center, and opioid consumption. We compared the outcomes before and after the addition of liposomal bupivacaine to surgeon-applied periarticular intraoperative local anesthetic field blocks between in-hospital patients who received and patients who did not receive liposomal bupivacaine in 2013 and 2014, and the impact of liposomal bupivacaine use in the hospital versus the ambulatory center from 2015 to 2019. Results: In 2013 and 2014, the addition of liposomal bupivacaine increased the same-day hospital discharge rate to 32% versus 4% without liposomal bupivacaine (odds ratio, 14.3; 95% confidence interval, 5.9-33.3; Conclusion: An enhanced recovery pathway using individualized, scheduled multimodal pain management protocol in patients undergoing THA or TKA facilitated reproducible, high same-day discharge rates and low postoperative opioid consumption. These results suggest that the use of liposomal bupivacaine for intraoperative field blocks supports predictable same-day discharge rates after THA or TKA. This protocol could facilitate same-day hospital discharge and the migration of THA and TKA procedures from the hospital to lower-cost ambulatory surgery centers.
