Effectiveness of a telephone-based nursing intervention to reduce hospital utilization by COVID-19 patients.
Article in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveDetermine the effectiveness of a COVID-19 remote monitoring and management program in reducing preventable hospital utilization.
designA retrospective cohort study utilizing data from electronic health records. SAMPLE: Two hundred ninety-three patients who tested positive for COVID-19 at a drive-through testing site in Michigan. [Correction added on 11 April 2022, after first online publication: In the preceding sentence, "Two hundred and ninety-third" has been corrected to "Two hundred ninety-three" in this version.] The intervention group, consisting of 139 patients, was compared to a control group of 154 patients. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome was the 30-day probability of hospital utilization. The covariates included in the analysis were age, gender, tobacco use, body mass index (BMI), race, and ethnicity.
interventionA nurse-led, telephone-based active management protocol for COVID-19 patients who were isolating at home.
resultsThe intervention group had a non-statistically significant 42% reduction in risk of hospital utilization within 30 days of a positive COVID-19 test when compared to the control group (HR = 0.578, p-value .111, HR 95% CI [0.29, 1.13]).
conclusionsA nurse-led remote monitoring and management program for COVID-19 reduced the probability of 30-day hospital utilization. Although the findings were not statistically significant, the program yielded practical significance by reducing hospital utilization, in-person interaction, and the risk of infection for healthcare workers.
