Adverse Events Within 24 hours After 1070 Adult Brain Tumor Surgeries Recovered in a Neurocritical Care Unit or a Postanesthesia Care Unit.

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 AND
objectivesBy convention, patients who have undergone a craniotomy for tumor are monitored in a neurocritical care unit (NCCU) overnight, yet there is little evidence to justify the need for such intense care. Here, we compared postoperative adverse events in patients after brain tumor surgeries surveilled in a NCCU overnight or postanesthesia care unit (PACU) for a shorter duration.
methodsWe retrospectively studied 1070 consecutive patients who underwent craniotomy for brain tumor between 2016 and 2021. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years and craniotomy for resection or biopsy of intracerebral or extracerebral tumors. Cohorts were divided into 2 groups based on recovery destination, NCCU or PACU. Medical history, preoperative and postoperative neuroimaging, surgical resection features, diagnosis, and postoperative adverse events within 24 hours were reviewed for all patients.
resultsA total of 674 patients in the NCCU group and 396 patients in the PACU group were studied. The mean ages were 55.7 (NCCU) and 59.6 (PACU) years (
conclusionThe incidence of adverse events within 24 hours after brain tumor surgery was not different between patients being surveilled for a long period in a NCCU or for a short period in a PACU.
