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

objectiveTo examine the relationship between Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) generosity and the likelihood of nursing home (NH) admission for dually enrolled older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their level of physical and cognitive impairment at NH admission. DATA SOURCES: National Medicare data, Medicaid Analytic eXtract, and MDS 3.0 for CY2010-2013 were linked. STUDY

designEligible Medicare-Medicaid dual beneficiaries with ADRD were identified and followed for up to a year. We constructed two measures of HCBS generosity, breadth and intensity, at the county level for older duals with ADRD. Three binary outcomes were defined as follows: any NH placement during the follow-up year for all individuals in the sample, high (vs. not high) physical impairment, and high (vs. not high) cognitive impairment at the time of NH admission for those who were admitted to an NH. Logistic regressions with state-fixed effects and county random effects were estimated for these outcomes, respectively, accounting for individual- and county-level covariates. DATA EXTRACTION

methodsThe study sample included 365,310 community-dwelling older dual beneficiaries with ADRD who were enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare and Medicaid between October 1, 2010, and December 31, 2012. PRINCIPAL

findingsConsiderable variations of breadth and intensity in county-level HCBS were observed. We found that a 10-percentage-point increase in HCBS breadth was associated with a 1.4 (p < 0.01)-percentage-point reduction in the likelihood of NH admission. Among individuals with NH admission, greater HCBS breadth was associated with a higher level of physical impairment, and greater HCBS intensity was associated with a higher level of physical and cognitive impairment at NH admission.

conclusionsAmong community-dwelling duals with ADRD, Medicaid HCBS generosity was associated with a lower likelihood of NH admission and greater functional impairment at NH admission.
