Association Between Pre-Hospital e-Education via QR Code and Hospital Stay in Inguinal Hernia Patients Undergoing General Anaesthesia: A Retrospective Study.

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: Exploring the retrospective analysis of the association between pre-hospital e-education via QR code and the hospital stay for inguinal hernia patients undergoing general anesthesia. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to explore the association between pre-hospital e-education utilizing QR code and hospital stay in patients with inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia between August 2022 to June 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their engagement with the pre-hospital e-education: those who accessed the pre-hospital e-education (viewing group) and those who did not (non-viewing group). The t-tests or Mann-Whitney Results: There were significant differences in the patient's hospital stay, the time to first postoperative ambulation and dietary, anxiety, pain, and patient satisfaction. The analyses revealed statistically significant correlations between viewing pre-hospital e-education via QR code and hospital stay, the time to first postoperative ambulation and dietary, anxiety, pain, as well as patients' satisfaction ( Conclusion: Effective pre-hospital e-education via online QR codes may reduce hospital stay and improve the patient experience in day surgery under general anesthesia.
