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

Little is known about characteristics of those who transition to the community after long stays in nursing facilities. Yet this information is highly relevant to efforts to reduce preventable nursing facility use. This study identifies and compares community transition among short-stay (1-90 days) and long-stay residents (91-365 days) aged 65 + using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and logistic regression to analyze 3,762 episodes of care in Southern California. Over 90% of community discharges occurred in the first 90 days, and few characteristics predicted discharge after 90 days. The findings inform transition programs' efforts to identify and effectively target residents after 90-day stays.
