Patients discharged from higher-quality skilled nursing facilities spend more days at home.
Article in Health services research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo evaluate the association of skilled nursing facility (SNF) quality with days spent alive in nonmedical settings ("home time") after SNF discharge to the community. DATA SOURCES: Secondary data are from Medicare claims for New York State (NYS) Medicare beneficiaries, the Area Health Resources File, and Nursing Home Compare. STUDY
designWe estimate home time in the 30- and 90-day periods following SNF discharge. Two-part zero-inflated negative binomial regression models characterize the association of SNF quality with home time. DATA EXTRACTION
methodsWe use Medicare claims data to identify 25 357 NYS fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older with an SNF admission for postacute care who were subsequently discharged to home in 2014. PRINCIPAL
findingsFollowing 30 and 90 days after SNF discharge, the average home time is 28.0 (SD = 6.1) and 81.6 (SD = 20.2) days, respectively. A number of patient- and SNF-level factors are associated with home time. In particular, within 30 and 90 days of discharge, respectively, patients discharged from 2- to 5-star SNFs spend 1.2-1.5 (P < .001) and 3.2-4.3 (P < .001) more days at home than those discharged from 1-star (lowest quality) SNFs.
conclusionsImproved understanding of what is contributing to differences in home time could help guide efforts into optimizing post-SNF discharge outcomes.
