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
Purpose: This study evaluated readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) among ophthalmic day surgery patients and identified psychosocial factors associated with RHD to inform clinical practice. Patients and Methods: A total of 281 adults undergoing elective ophthalmic day surgery at West China Hospital, Sichuan University (December 2024-March 2025), were recruited by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) to evaluate discharge readiness among ophthalmic day surgery patients under a rapid-turnover model, the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale (AAHLS), and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS). Univariate analysis and stepwise multiple linear regression were used to examine factors associated with RHD. Results: The mean total RHDS score was 99.48 ± 13.35, with an average item score of 8.29 ± 1.11. Expected support had the highest mean dimension score was for expected support (8.76 ± 1.62), followed by personal status (8.42 ± 1.63) and coping ability (7.99 ± 1.11). Univariate analysis showed that sex, marital status, place of residence, comorbid chronic diseases, low vision at admission, type of surgery, and requirement for special postoperative positioning significantly affected RHDS scores (all Conclusion: Adult ophthalmic day surgery patients demonstrated relatively high RHD, although coping ability was comparatively weaker and requires further attention. Clinicians should pay particular attention to rural residents, women, patients with low vision, and those requiring special postoperative positioning. Improving discharge teaching and health literacy may further enhance RHD.
