Relationship between pediatric intensive care unit length of stay and 24-h unplanned readmission rate.
Article in Health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the relationship between pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) severity-adjusted length of stay (LOS) and 24-h unplanned readmission rate. DATA SOURCE: Data were obtained from a 10-year cohort from 2009 to 2018 from the Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS, LLC) database. STUDY
designIn this retrospective study, standardized LOS ratio was computed for each PICU as the ratio of the sum of actual LOS divided by the predicted LOS for each PICU using VPS predictive LOS model. Correlation between standardized LOS ratios and 24-h unplanned readmission rates were computed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. PRINCIPAL
findingsThere was practically no relationship between standardized LOS ratio and 24-h readmission rate (R DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsNot Applicable.
conclusionsSeverity-adjusted LOS has no relationship with 24-h unplanned readmission rate. These findings suggest that the relationship between PICU severity-adjusted LOS and 24-h unplanned readmission rate should not be used as a balancing quality measure.
