Unplanned admissions after day-case surgery in an Italian third-level pediatric hospital: a retrospective study.
Article in Perioperative medicine (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundIncreasing procedures in day-case surgery can mitigate the costs of health service, without reducing safety and quality standards. The Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù has adopted an educational program for healthcare personnel and patients' families to increase the number of day-case surgery procedures performed without reducing the level of safety. The unplanned admission rate after day-case surgery can be a quality benchmark for pediatric day-case surgery, and in literature, there are no Italian data.
methodsWe made a retrospective analysis of the hospital database and focused on children requiring unplanned admission to the central venue of the hospital for the night. The audit covered the period from September 2012 to April 2018.
resultsWe performed general anesthesia for 8826 procedures (urology 33.60%, plastic surgery 30.87%, general surgery 17.44%, dermatology 11.66%, dentistry 3.16%, orthopedics 1.64%, digestive endoscopy 1.63%). Unplanned admission for anesthetic reasons resulted in two cases: one case of syncope and one case of vomit (0.023% rate). No one major complication.
conclusionsGood quality of patient selection, the safety of the structure, family education, and an efficient organizational model combined with an educational program for anesthesiologists can improve the safety of anesthesia for day-case surgery.
