Outpatient total knee and hip arthroplasty present comparable and even better clinical outcomes than inpatient operation.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: The purpose of this study was to compare total complications, complications stratified by type, readmissions, and reoperations at 30 and 90 days after outpatient and standard inpatient total knee and total hip arthroplasty (TKA, THA). Methods: A literature search was conducted from the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases for articles published before 20 August 2021. The types of studies included prospective randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, retrospective comparative studies, retrospective reviews of THA and TKA registration databases, and observational case-control studies. Comparisons of interest included total complications, complications stratified by type, readmissions, and reoperations at 30 and 90 days. The statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3. Results: Twenty studies with 582,790 cases compared relevant postoperative indicators of outpatient and inpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) (TKA and THA). There was a significant difference in the total complications at 30 days between outpatient and inpatient THA ( Conclusion: Outpatient procedures showed comparable and even better outcomes in total complications, complications stratified by type, readmissions, and reoperations at 30 and 90 days compared with inpatient TJA for selected patients.
