MENDing Recovery: Comprehensive Perioperative Care Cuts Hospital Stay After Minimally Invasive CABG.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of a novel multidisciplinary initiative, known as the Multimodal ENhanced Discharge (MEND), on length of stay (LOS) for patients undergoing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG).
methodsThe MEND program aims to optimize the patient's preoperative condition and increase preparedness, provide individualized perioperative care, and ensure early postdischarge follow-up to support active recovery and facilitate early discharge. This single-center, retrospective analysis reviewed LOS and readmission data for 198 consecutive patients who underwent MICS CABG by a single surgeon. Of these, 91 patients received routine care (RC) and 107 patients received care through the MEND program.
resultsThe median ward (non-intensive care unit) LOS was significantly shorter by 33% in the MEND group versus the RC group (2 vs 3 days,
conclusionsImplementation of the MEND program in patients undergoing MICS CABG was associated with significantly shorter overall hospital LOS without an increase in readmission rates. No statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the RC and MEND cohorts were observed. These findings suggest MEND is an effective and generalizable program for optimizing recovery. Ultimately, this model of care has the potential to positively affect health care costs, improve surgical wait times, and expand capacity in MICS CABG programs.
