Developing a person-centered, population based measure of "home time": Perspectives of older patients and unpaid caregivers.
Article in Healthcare (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Measuring "home time," number of days not in facility-based care, with medical claims is a promising approach to assess person-centered outcomes on a population level. Generally, spending more time at home matches long-term care preferences and improves quality of life. However, existing "home time" measures have not incorporated key stakeholder perspectives. We sought to understand how patients and family caregivers value time spent in diverse facility-based health care settings (Emergency Department, Nursing Home, Post-Acute Care/Skilled Nursing, Inpatient Hospital) to help determine whether various settings have different effects on quality of life and thus merit different weighting in a "home time" measure. We conducted three focus groups among patients and family caregivers within the U.S. Veterans Health Care System. We identified themes pertaining to patients' quality of life in each of the four facility-based care settings. Discussions about both emergency department and post-acute/skilled nursing care reflected loss of personal control, counterbalanced by temporary stay. Inpatient hospital care evoked discussion about greater loss of personal control due to the intensity of care. Nursing homes ultimately signified decline. These findings illuminate differences in quality of life across health-care settings and help justify the need for different weights in a measure of "home time."
