1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Same-day discharge (SDD) protocols for anastomotic metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) have emerged as a strategy to optimise healthcare resources. However, concerns regarding safety, particularly related to mortality and postoperative complications, remain unresolved. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the safety of SDD with standard overnight hospitalisation (OH) in anastomotic MBS, focusing on early postoperative outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Four studies, including 19,849 patients (24.4% undergoing SDD), were analysed. Outcomes assessed included 30-day overall morbidity, mortality, readmission, reoperation rates and complications categorised by the Clavien-Dindo classification. A random-effects model was used for data pooling, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I
