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

objectivesTo assess (1) the relationship of consumers' assessment of overall nursing home quality to their assessment of specific dimensions of quality; and (2) the implications of this relationship for composite quality measures in Nursing Home Compare.

designA survey conducted in 2017 elicited respondents' assessments of the quality of overall care and 13 specific dimensions of care. SETTINGS AND

participantsThe sample consisted of 4449 respondents who either resided in a nursing home or had a family member who resided in a nursing home during the 6 months before the survey.

methodsWe estimated regression models to infer the relationship between consumers' assessments of overall quality and 13 specific dimensions of quality. The regression coefficients, indicating the implicit importance/weight assigned by respondents to each dimension as a component of the consumers' assessment of overall quality, were used to create a prototype composite quality measure.

resultsFor long-stay residents, 8 of the 13 quality dimensions were significantly associated with their overall ratings of quality. Five dimensions achieved significance for short-stay residents. The magnitude of importance weights varied substantially across dimensions of care. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our findings suggest that Nursing Home Compare could be improved by augmenting the technical information in the 5-Star composite measure with consumers' assessments of the additional, nontechnical dimensions of quality.
