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
Purpose: Studies involving minimally invasive hysterectomy and robotic sacrocolpopexy have demonstrated safety and feasibility of same-day discharge. There are limited data, however, on same-day discharge outcomes for vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic reconstruction. This study aimed to compare 30 and 90-day surgical outcomes between same-day discharge versus overnight stay following vaginal hysterectomy and apical suspension. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated surgeries performed over two time periods. Overnight stay was standard between December 2018 and February 2020. Same-day discharge was standard from December 2020 to February 2022. All patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy with apical suspension were included. The primary outcome was to determine if there was an increase in 30-day readmission rates. Secondary outcomes included emergency department visits and reoperations within 30 days, the previous variables at 90 days, and the rate for successful same-day discharge. Results: A total of 324 patients were analyzed over the 30 months: 149 (46%) in the overnight stay group and 175 (54%) in the same-day discharge group. At 30 days, no difference was found between groups for readmissions (2.7% vs 4.0%, p = 0.56), emergency department visits (14.8% vs 14.9%, p = 1.0), or reoperations (2.0% vs.1.7%, p = 1.0). At 90 days, outcomes were also similar. Same-day discharge as standard practice was successful in 80% of patients. Conclusion: In this retrospective two cohort study, the safety of same-day discharge following vaginal hysterectomy with apical suspension was demonstrated with no increased risk of 30 or 90-day readmissions, emergency visits, or reoperation rates. The majority (80%) of patients were discharged on the day of surgery, suggesting feasibility of this model.
