The Association Between Emergency Department Revisit and Elderly Patients.
Article in Journal of acute medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundEmergency department (ED) revisits may be associated with a higher percentage of adverse events and increased costs. Our hospital is a university affiliation hospital accepted regional referral patients, and located in the region in Taiwan with the highest percentage of elderly people. In this study, we attempted to identify whether old age was a risk factor of ED revisit.
methodsPatients who visited the ED from July 2011 to June 2016 were included. Factors associated with revisit were collected from medical information database. A total of 239,405 patients were included in our study, with 13,272 having ED revisits within 72 hours. Chi square and independent t test were applied for univariable factors, and a logistic regression model was used for multivariable analysis.
resultsOld age (age ≥ 65 years) was found to be a risk factor for ED revisit (odds ratio [OR]: 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-1.19). Diagnosis, pulse rate, diastolic blood pressure, fever, pain management, paracentesis, triage level, registration category, male gender, discharge status, and major illness may have some effect on ED revisit.
conclusionsIn our patients, old age is a risk factor for ED revisit; however, only a weak association was found.
