Trends in hospital-SNF relationships in the care of Medicare beneficiaries.
Article in Healthcare (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Improving the value of post-acute care at skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) has become a Medicare policy priority. Anecdotally, hospitals have responded by formally acquiring or pursuing tighter informal connections with SNFs. We evaluated the trend in connections between US acute care hospitals and Medicare-certified SNFs between 2000 and 2013 using vertical integration and two novel network-based measures (number of SNF partners, and discharge concentration). Among 4441 hospitals and 17,215 SNFs, hospitals with weaker connections with SNFs were more often non-profit, major teaching hospitals with a larger number of discharges and beds. We found an apparent weakening of hospital-SNF connections over time for all three measures. Over one-third (39%) of hospitals were vertically integrated in 2000 compared to 8.2% in 2013. The number of SNF partners increased between 2000 and 2013, while hospitals' discharge concentration declined steadily. Additional work is needed to understand the implications of these trends.
