Rehospitalization During the First 5 Years After the Onset of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Population-Based Study Using Administrative Billing Records.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveOur objective was to identify the number, length of stay, and charges of rehospitalizations during the subsequent 5 years after discharge from the initial hospitalization by using administrative billing records from a population-based cohort with spinal cord injury (SCI) in the southeastern United States.
designAnalysis of administrative billing data.
settingState-based surveillance data analyzed by an academic medical center in the southeastern United States.
participantsA total of 1872 individuals (N=1872) from a state-based surveillance system in the southeastern United States whose onset was between January 1, 1998, and January 1, 2010.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresThe outcome measures were the number of rehospitalization episodes, length of stay, and total hospital charges for each episode of rehospitalization.
resultsSeventy percent of participants were rehospitalized during the first 5 years after initial discharge, and the highest rehospitalization rates were in the first year (54%), being relatively stable in years 2-5 (21%-22%). Adjusted to 2019 US dollars, the average total rehospitalization charges were $214,716 per person during the 5 years. Participants who could walk independently had fewer rehospitalizations, fewer rehospitalization days, and less rehospitalization charges than the nonambulatory participants. College education was also associated with less rehospitalization charges.
conclusionsRehospitalization is a significant cost after SCI. Further longitudinal study on the population cohorts and billing data are needed to quantify these changes over time.
