Rehospitalization During 9 Months After Inpatient Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury.
Observational study in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.

resultsA total of 510 participants (28%) had experienced 775 acute rehospitalizations. All experienced 1 admission (510 participants [66%]), whereas 154 (20%) had 2 admissions, 60 (8%) had 3, 23 (3%) had 4, 27 had between 5 and 11, and 1 had 12. The most common rehospitalization causes were infection (15%), neurological (13%), neurosurgical (11%), injury (7%), psychiatric (7%), and orthopedic (7%). The mean time from rehabilitation discharge to first rehospitalization was 113 days. The mean rehospitalization duration was 6.5 days. Logistic regression analyses revealed that older age, history of seizures before injury or during acute care or rehabilitation, history of brain injuries, and non-brain injury medical severity increased the risk of rehospitalization. Injury etiology of motor vehicle collision and high motor functioning at discharge decreased rehospitalization risk.
conclusionsApproximately 28% of patients with TBI were rehospitalized within 9 months of TBI rehabilitation discharge owing to various medical and surgical reasons. Future research should evaluate whether some of these occurrences may be preventable (such as infections, injuries, and psychiatric disorders) and should evaluate the extent to which persons at risk may benefit from additional screening, surveillance, and treatment protocols.
