Transition of care at discharge from the Intensive Care Unit: a scoping review.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveto map the available evidence on the components of the transition of care, practices, strategies, and tools used in the discharge from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to the Inpatient Unit (IU) and its impact on the outcomes of adult patients.
methoda scoping review using search strategies in six relevant health databases.
results37 articles were included, in which 30 practices, strategies or tools were identified for organizing and executing the transfer process, with positive or negative impacts, related to factors intrinsic to the Intensive Care Unit and the Inpatient Unit and cross-sectional factors regarding the staff. The analysis of hospital readmission and mortality outcomes was prevalent in the included studies, in which trends and potential protective actions for a successful care transition are found; however, they still lack more robust evidence and consensus in the literature.
conclusiontransition of care components and practices were identified, in addition to factors intrinsic to the patient, associated with worse outcomes after discharge from the Intensive Care Unit. Discharges at night or on weekends were associated with increased rates of readmission and mortality; however, the association of other practices with the patient's outcome is still inconclusive.
