Risk of Hospital Readmission among Older Patients Discharged from the Rehabilitation Unit in a Rural Community Hospital: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. 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
Rehabilitation for hospitalized older people can improve their independence for performing activities of daily living (ADL), but determining its appropriateness can be challenging because of inherent limitations in their ADL and short life expectancy. Thus, we aimed to clarify the benefit of rehabilitation among older Japanese patients. We retrospectively evaluated consecutive older patients (age > 65 years) admitted to the rehabilitation unit of a rural community hospital between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2020. The primary outcome measure was readmission for acute conditions. Of the 732 patients evaluated, 311 patients (42.5%) were readmitted. Readmission was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI) (
