1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesStroke readmission increases financial burden on the family and the consumption of medical resources, and 30-day readmission rate is an important indicator for quality evaluation on health services. The influential factors for readmission mainly include patient-related factors, hospital factors, and society-related factors, with regional differences. This study aims to explore the spatial distribution and its main relevant factors for 30-day readmission of stroke patients in Hunan Province, and to provide the useful information for the improvement of regional prevention and control of stroke readmission.

methodsStroke patients in Hunan Province who were hospitalized in 2018 and readmitted within 30 days were included in the study. The vector map of the county boundary in Hunan Province was used as the basic map since county was the spatial analysis unit. SPSS 26.0 and ArcGIS 10.8 were used for statistical analysis that contains descriptive analysis of the general situation and the distribution map of readmission rate within 30 days of stroke patients. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial regression analysis were further used to find the spatial clusters of the 30-day readmission rate of stroke and the local relationship between the readmission rate and main influential factors.

resultsIn 2018, a total of 172 800 stroke patients were hospitalized in Hunan Province, of which 6 953 patients were re-hospitalized within 30 days after discharging due to stroke. The 30-day readmission rate was 4.09% in Hunan Province. The clusters of stroke readmission rates were mainly concentrated in the northeast and western regions in Hunan Province. The geographically weighted regression revealed that proportion of patients with complications, number of hospitals per 10 000 population and number of primary medical and health care institution per 10 000 population were the main relevant factors for stroke readmission, and there were differences both in the direction and degree of the effect on readmission in different regions.

conclusionsThe 30-day readmission rate for stroke patients in Hunan province and its main influential factors had spatial heterogeneity. The key prevention and control areas were mainly concentrated in the northeast and western regions. It is recommended that the prevention and treatment of stroke complications and the construction of medical institutions need to be strengthened to improve the quality of medical services, particularly in the western region. The importance to the treatment of stroke complications should be attached in the northern region, and the primary health care should be reinforced in the northeast region. All counties should take prevention and control measures according to local conditions, so as to effectively control the readmission rate of stroke within 30 days.
