Fast-track extubation in minimally invasive cardiac surgery: limits and lessons of a 4-year single-center analysis.

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: Fast-track extubation is a key component of the interdisciplinary treatment concept Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). In preparation for implementing ERAS as a comprehensive approach, we aimed to analyze the current state of fast-track extubation in the operating room, focusing on Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS). Specifically, we assessed the potential benefits of immediate on-table extubation compared to extubation within six hours after the completion of MICS. Methods: During a 4-year period from 2019-2023, a total of Results: Patients had a median age of 61 years (IQR: 51.3-67.8) and were predominantly male (76.7%). The primary study endpoint occurred in 20.0% of all matched patients (FT: 26.7%, EIT: 13.3%; Conclusions: According to our retrospective single-center analysis, extubation in the operating room is feasible and safe even outside of a structured ERAS program. However, as itself it does not impact the further hospital stay, if there is no action thereafter, e.g., same day physiotherapy.
