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

On October 1, 2012, as part of the Affordable Care Act, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began to reduce payments to hospitals with excessive rehospitalization rates through the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. These financial penalties have intensified hospital leaders' efforts to implement strategies to reduce readmission rates. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore organizational strategies that leaders use to reduce readmission rates in hospitals located in a non-Medicaid-expansion state. The data collection included semistructured interviews with 15 hospital leaders located in five metropolitan and rural hospitals in southwest Missouri. Consistent with prior research, the use of predictive analytics stratified by patient population was acknowledged as a key strategy to help reduce avoidable rehospitalization. Study findings suggest that leveraging data from the electronic health records to identify at-risk patients provides comprehensive health information to reduce readmissions. Hospital leaders also revealed the need to understand and address the health needs of their local population, including social determinants such as lack of access to transportation as well as food and housing.
