Total Joint Arthroplasty at a Novel "Hyperspecialty" Ambulatory Surgical Center With Extended Care Suites is as Safe as Inpatient Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: New "hyperspecialty" ambulatory surgical centers (HASCs) have been introduced to deliver safe and cost-efficient care, allowing patients to spend additional nights in an extended care suite before discharge. This study compared the 90-day complications and readmissions of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) at an HASC and inpatient TJA at a tertiary hospital. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1365 primary, unilateral, TJAs (658 total hip arthroplasty, 707 total knee arthroplasty) performed at 4 HASCs in 2017-2021. Following their outpatient procedure, patients were discharged to an extended care suite staffed full-time by nurses and physical therapists. These patients were matched 1:1 with 1365 inpatient TJAs (628 total hip arthroplasty, 737 total knee arthroplasty) based on demographics, joint, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Ninety-day complications and readmissions were compared. Results: The mean age was 60.0 ± 9.8 years and 59.4 ± 8.1 years in the inpatient and outpatient groups, respectively ( Conclusions: Patients undergoing outpatient TJA at a novel HASC had similar complication and readmission rates as those undergoing TJA at a tertiary hospital. Based on these data, such facilities seem appropriate for the care of outpatient TJA patients with ASA<4.
