Maturational, comorbid, maternal and discharge domain impact on preterm rehospitalizations: a comparison of planned and unplanned rehospitalizations.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo determine the predictive value of (1) maternal, (2) maturational, (3) comorbid and (4) discharge domains associated with preterm infant rehospitalization. STUDY
designRetrospective, cohort study of preterm infants discharged home from a level IV neonatal intensive care unit. Rates of unplanned and planned 6-month readmissions were assessed. The four domains were modeled incrementally and separately to predict relative and combined contributions to the readmission risk.
resultOut of 504 infants, 5% had 30-day readmissions (22 unplanned, three planned). By 6 months, 13% were rehospitalized (52 unplanned, 15 planned). Sixty-seven infants had 96 readmission events with 30% of readmission events elective. The four domains together predicted 78% of total 1-month, all 6-month and unplanned 6-month readmissions. Discharge complexity was as predictive as comorbidity in all models.
conclusionThese four-domain models were more predictive than single domains. Many total readmission events were planned, suggesting parsing planned and unplanned rehospitalizations may benefit quality-improvement efforts.
