Older Patient and Surrogate Attitudes Toward Deprescribing During the Transition From Acute to Post-Acute Care.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02979353 (A Randomized Controlled Trial to Deprescribe for Older Patients With Polypharmacy Transferred From the Hospital to Skilled Nursing Facilities), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Attitudes toward deprescribing among hospitalized older patients transitioning to post-acute care in the United States are less known. This study describes older patients' and their surrogate's attitudes using all items of the Patient Attitudes Toward Deprescribing (PATD) questionnaire and compares perceived pill burden to the actual count of total daily pills and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Overall, 93% of participants were willing to deprescribe if their physician agreed. Compared to patients, surrogates had 64% reduced odds (95% CI: 0.18-0.74) of believing that all of the care recipient's medications were necessary and 61% reduced odds (95% CI: 0.17-0.88) of attributing cost as a factor in deprescribing. Perceptions of medication burden were associated with patients' total daily pills (median 16) and PIMS (median 7), yet 61% agreed that all their medicines were necessary. Patients and surrogates typically express a willingness to deprescribe but have differing perceptions of medication appropriateness.
