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

backgroundReducing hospital readmission is an important goal to optimize poststroke care and reduce costs. Early outpatient follow-up may represent one important strategy to reduce readmissions. We examined the association between time to first outpatient contact and readmission to inform postdischarge transitions. METHODS AND

resultsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of all Medicare fee-for-service patients discharged home after an acute ischemic stroke in 2012 identified by the

conclusionsThirty-day outpatient follow-up was associated with a small reduction in hospital readmission among elderly patients with stroke discharged home. Further work should assess how outpatient care may be improved to further reduce readmissions.
