Assessment of Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes After Outpatient Joint Arthroplasty in Academic Medical Centers.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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: There is limited literature evaluating patient satisfaction and outcomes after outpatient joint arthroplasty procedures in academic medical centers (AMCs). The aims of this study are to determine: (1) patients' desires to repeat their procedures and be discharged on the same day, (2) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), (3) time to discharge, (4) readmission rates, and (5) factors that predict PROMs in patients undergoing outpatient joint arthroplasty in AMCs. Methods: A prospective survey was completed by 66 total hip arthroplasty (THA), 35 total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and 180 unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) outpatients who underwent surgery from May 2018 to December 2020 in 2 AMCs. The survey consisted of questions regarding hip or knee PROMs (Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement), satisfaction with outpatient procedures and discharges, and reasons for readmissions. Linear regression analysis was conducted with statistical significance set at Results: 100% of THA, 93.8% of TKA, and 93.0% of UKA outpatients stated that they would re-elect to undergo their respective procedure. Furthermore, 94% of THA, 81% of TKA, and 95% of UKA patients stated they would like same-day discharge again. THA, TKA, and UKA patients reported respective mean PROM scores of 94.7, 89.9, and 86.1. Readmission rates were 1.5%, 0.0%, and 0.5%, for THA, TKA, and UKA, respectively. Conclusions: Patients who underwent outpatient joint arthroplasty procedures at 2 AMCs experienced minimal readmissions and reported a high desire to repeat their outpatient procedures.
