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

Background: The safety and value of same-day mastectomy are well-documented but the patient perspective is underreported, especially among older patients. This study aimed to investigate older patient-reported recovery quality after mastectomy; we hypothesized that patients who were discharged same day would report better recovery. Methods: A prospective trial included frailty screening and prehabilitation for patients age ≥ 65 undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer. Primary endpoint, same-day discharge rate, was previously reported and was significantly higher than the year prior. Secondary endpoint was patient-reported postoperative recovery quality, per the Quality of Recovery-15 measure (QoR-15; 15 questions scored 1-10, 10 being best). Patients responded by phone 24-72 h postdischarge. One-tailed Results: 37/55 (67.3%) patients ≥ 65 who underwent unilateral/bilateral mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer responded. Mean age was 73.6 (standard deviation 7.6), most had invasive carcinoma (44, 80.0%), and mean 5-factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) was 1.3 of 5 (standard deviation 0.9); nonresponders had similar characteristics. There were no significant differences in any QoR-15 item (all Conclusions: Although this trial was not powered for secondary analyses, it is clinically meaningful that older patients undergoing same-day mastectomy reported similar recovery quality as those admitted. Same-day mastectomy should be considered for older patients.
