Increased healthcare facility use in veterans surviving sepsis hospitalization.
Article in Journal of critical care, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeWe sought to measure inpatient healthcare utilization among U.S. Veteran Affairs beneficiaries surviving sepsis hospitalization, and to examine how post-sepsis utilization varies by select patient characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective cohort study of 26,561 Veterans who survived sepsis hospitalization in 2009. Using difference-in-differences analysis, we compared changes in healthcare utilization in one year before and one year after sepsis hospitalization by Veteran age, illness severity, and recent nursing facility use.
resultsMedian days in a healthcare facility increased from 5 to 10. Veterans with recent nursing facility use spent a median 65days (or 86% of days alive) in a healthcare facility in the year after sepsis. Older age, greater illness severity, and recent nursing home use were each associated with spending more days, and a greater proportion of days alive, in a healthcare facility during the year after sepsis. However, none of these characteristics was associated with a greater rise in utilization after sepsis.
conclusionsVeterans surviving sepsis experience high rates of post-sepsis mortality and significant increases in healthcare facility use. Recent nursing facility use is strongly predictive of greater post-sepsis healthcare utilization.
