Hospital length of stay and all-cause 30-day readmissions among high-risk Medicaid beneficiaries.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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.

Abstract
This study examined the association between index hospitalization characteristics and the risk of all-cause 30-day readmission among high-risk Medicaid beneficiaries using multilevel analyses. A retrospective cohort with a baseline and a follow-up period was used. The study population consisted of Medicaid beneficiaries (21-64 years old) with selected chronic conditions, continuous fee-for-service enrollment through the observation period, and at least 1 inpatient encounter during the follow-up period (N = 15,806). The outcome of 30-day readmission was measured using inpatient admissions within 30-days from the discharge date of the first observed hospitalization. Key independent variables included length of stay, reason for admission, and month of index hospitalization (seasonality). Multilevel logistic regression that accounted for beneficiaries nested within counties was used to examine this association, after controlling for patient-level and county-level characteristics. In this study population, 16.7% had all-cause 30-day readmissions. Adults with greater lengths of stay during the index hospitalization were more likely to have 30-day readmissions (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.04). Adults who were hospitalized for cardiovascular conditions (AOR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.08-1.33), diabetes (AOR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.10-1.39), cancer (AOR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.26-1.90), and mental health conditions (AOR: 2.17, 95% CI: 1.98-2.38) were more likely to have 30-day readmissions compared to those without these conditions.
