Factors associated with readmission in patients with eating disorders.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThis study examined predictors of readmission to inpatient/residential settings in patients with eating disorders. We hypothesized that readmitted patients would report worse transitional care and continuity of care compared to those who were not readmitted.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, online survey of 80 individuals from the US who reported that they were diagnosed with an eating disorder requiring inpatient/residential treatment. Participants completed questionnaires on demographic and clinical characteristics, the Care Transition Model-15, and the Continuity of Care Questionnaire. We analyzed data using univariate statistics and a series of logistic regression models.
resultsParticipants who reported better transitional care (adjusted OR (AOR) = 1.14; p < 0.001), continuity of care during their inpatient or residential stay, including greater transfer of information (AOR = 6.39, p = 0.002), relationships in the hospital (AOR = 6.83, p = 0.003), management of follow-up (AOR = 3.41, p = 0.02), management of communication (AOR = 8.74, p = 0.001), and management of forms (AOR = 9.61, p = 0.002), reported increased odds of being readmitted to an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Use of nasogastric (NG) tube feedings was significantly associated with being readmitted.
conclusionsContrary to our hypotheses, we found that better transitional care and continuity of care were associated with higher odds of readmission. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, case-control analytic study.
