Perioperative Differences Between Outpatient and Inpatient Pathways Following Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. 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: Optimization of clinical pathways and logistics led to the introduction of outpatient joint arthroplasty of the hip and knee. Nevertheless, little is known about what these current protocols look like and how they differ from "standard" inpatient protocols. This study aimed to find preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative differences between outpatient and inpatient pathways. Methods: A questionnaire (ranging between 23 and 37 items) was developed and administered by email to orthopedic surgeons who were a member of the Dutch Hip Society and Dutch Knee Society. Survey response rate was 38% (N = 117). Results: No significant differences were found in preoperative pathway characteristics. The administration regime for tranexamic acid significantly differed between outpatient and inpatient pathways ( Conclusions: Few intraoperative and postoperative differences in outpatient and inpatient pathways were found and probably mainly relied on logistical grounds. Nonetheless, findings suggested that outpatient pathways tended to be more up-to-date and innovative than inpatient pathways.
