90-day Return to the Emergency Department Following Shoulder Arthroscopy: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Reasons.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Return to the Emergency Department (ED) within 90-days following arthroscopic shoulder surgery represents a potential source of increased healthcare expenditures. Understanding the risk factors could bring about interventions aimed at reducing its prevalence. Methods: A retrospective review of all shoulder arthroscopies undertaken at a single academic institution from February 2016 through November 2023 was performed. Patient demographics and surgical data, including age, diagnosis of mental health disorder, history of prior ipsi- and/or contralateral shoulder arthroscopy, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI), operative time and nature of the surgical procedure was collected. Patient visits to the ED within 12 months prior to surgery were recorded. Regression analysis was utilized to determine the independent predictors for 90-day postoperative ED return. Results: There were 584 total cases included in this study, of which 303 (52%) were women. The median age of the cohort was 57 years (IQR 51,62). There were 60 (10.3%) patients who experienced at least one unplanned 90-day ED return visit. A diagnosis of mental health disorder (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.50-4.75, P=0.001), an ED visit within 3 months of surgery (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.28-5.40, P=0.009), an ED visit between 3-6 months of surgery (OR 2.79, 95% CI 1.41-5.54, P=0.003), and an ED visit between 6-12 months of surgery (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.07-3.66, P=0.029) was significantly associated with a 90-day unplanned postoperative ED visit. Finally, having >3 preoperative ED visits was significantly associated with a 90-day postoperative ED visit (OR 9.41, 95% CI 3.68-24.06, P<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with a history of mental health disorder and those with a visit to the ED within 12 months prior to the planned shoulder arthroscopy should be counseled preoperatively regarding appropriate direct contact with the treating surgical team following discharge to minimize postoperative 90-day ED visits.
