Race and Insurance Status Disparities in Post-discharge Disposition After Hospitalization for Major Trauma.
Article in The American surgeon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 5 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
backgroundInvestigations detailing predictive measures of hospital disposition after traumatic injury are scarce. We aim to examine the discharge practices among trauma centers in the US and to identify factors that may influence post-hospital disposition.
methodsA retrospective analysis of trauma patients using the American College of Surgeons-Trauma Quality Improvement Program dataset from 2007-2017. Primary study outcome was hospital disposition (including long term care facility [LTC], others). Secondary outcomes included: Intensive Care Unit (ICU)-length of stay (LOS), complications, others).
results6 899 538 patients were analyzed. Odds of LTC discharge was significantly higher for Black patients (aOR = 1.30, 95% CI:1.24-1.37), abbreviated injury score (AIS) ≥3 (aOR = 4.22, 95% CI: 4.05-4.39), and higher injury severity score (ISS) (aOR = 9.41, 95% CI:9.03-9.80). Significantly more self-pay patients were discharged home compared to other insurance types (
conclusionsPatient race, insurance status, and injury severity were predictive of post-hospitalization care discharge. Self-pay and Black patients were less likely to be discharged to secondary care facilities. These findings have the potential to improve in-hospital patient management and predict discharge secondary care needs, and necessitate the need for future research to investigate the extent of inequalities in access to trauma care.
