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

backgroundThe inclusion of transitional care professionals to improve the sectoral interface management is politically supported. The nine components of the transitional care model (TCM) originating from the USA, are used in a randomized controlled trial within the TIGER project, which is funded by the Federal Joint Committee of Germany. Geriatric patients are accompanied prior to discharge from hospital and up to 12 months after discharge in the home environment.

objectiveWithin the framework of the TIGER project a nationwide survey was carried out on the use of the TCM components in the accompanied transition from hospital to home in the field of geriatrics. MATERIAL AND

methodsA data collection was set up to establish contact with people from the immediate and care policy environment of geriatrics. In a 2-stage process, the first question was whether a geriatric project was known that focuses on the transition from hospital to home in geriatric patients. After confirmation, a questionnaire could be filled out online or by post.

resultsA total of 31 different projects out of 39 answered questionnaires were identified. Principally, all TCM components were used in the projects. The TCM component 9 that describes the coordination of support and aids, was mentioned most often (n = 30). The TCM components 6 (improvement in self-management) and 8 (promoting continuity) were used in only 19 projects.

conclusionManagement of the transsectoral transition is a current topic in the field of geriatrics in Germany. The TCM components that have proved to be important in reducing hospital readmission rates have predominantly been used in the projects.
