Ambulatory bariatric surgery: a prospective single-center experience.

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
backgroundAmbulatory bariatric surgery has recently gained interest especially as a potential way to improve access for eligible patients with severe obesity. Building on our previously published research, this follow-up study delves deeper in the evolving landscape of ambulatory bariatric surgery over a 3-year period, focusing on predictors of success/failure.
methodsIn a prospective single-center follow-up study, we conducted a descriptive assessment of all eligible patients as per our established protocol, who underwent a planned same-day discharge (SDD) primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) between 03/01/2021 and 02/29/2024. Trends in SDD surgeries over time were assessed over six discrete 6 month intervals. Primary endpoint was defined as a successful discharge on the day of surgery without emergency department visit or readmission within 24 h. Secondary outcomes included 30-day postoperative morbidity.
resultsA total of 811 primary SG and 325 RYGB procedures were performed during the study period. Among them, 30% (n = 244) were SDD-SGs and 6% (n = 21) were SDD-RYGBs, respectively. At baseline, median age of the entire SDD cohort was 43 years old, 81% were females, and body mass index (BMI) was 44.5 kg/m
conclusionOur SDD protocol for bariatric surgery demonstrates a favorable safety profile, marked by high success rate and low postoperative morbidity. These outcomes have led to a continued increase in ambulatory procedures performed over time especially SG.
