Accelerated Recovery After Brachial Plexus Surgery: A Pilot Study of Same-Day Discharge.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of same-day discharge following adult traumatic brachial plexus nerve surgeryQuery. Methods: A retrospective case series of 25 adult patients who underwent various nerve transfer procedures for traumatic brachial plexus injuries between 2022 and 2023 was analyzed. Outcome measures included 90 day complications, pain scores, readmission rates, and reoperation rates. Results: The cohort included 17 cases of C5-6 brachial plexus injuries, 6 cases of C5-6-7 injuries, and 2 cases of pan-brachial plexus injuries (C5-T1). Nerve transfers were performed to restore shoulder and elbow function, with contralateral C7 transfer utilized in the pan-brachial plexus injury cases. All patients were discharged on the same day of surgery (< 24 h of admission). One patient (4%) with a pan-brachial plexus injury required readmission for pain management on the third postoperative day and discharged home on the same day. No patients required reoperation or experienced major complications. Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates that same-day discharge following brachial plexus surgery is feasible and safe in appropriately selected patients, with minimal complications. This approach may offer benefits in terms of reduced healthcare costs and improved patient satisfaction.
