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 association between social support status (living alone vs living with others) and same-day discharge rates among patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study that used data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program 2021-2022 Participant Use File. Patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications were identified based on Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes. The primary exposure was social support status, categorized as "Lives Alone" or "Lives with Others"; the primary outcome was
resultsA total of 1,615 patients were included, with 30% living alone and 70% living with others. Overall, 26% of patients had same-day discharge. Same-day discharge occured less frequently among patients living alone (22%) compared with those living with others (28%) (odds ratio [OR] 1.3;
conclusionLiving alone is associated with lower odds of same-day discharge after hysterectomy for benign indications, independent of clinical and demographic characteristics. These findings underscore the need to consider social support during preoperative planning to optimize discharge outcomes. Strategies to enhance home support may facilitate same-day discharge among patients living alone.
