Understanding the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nursing Homes (Aragón, Spain): Sociodemographic and Clinical Factors Associated With Hospitalization and Mortality.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Old people residing in nursing homes have been a vulnerable group to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with high rates of infection and death. Our objective was to describe the profile of institutionalized patients with a confirmed COVID-19 infection and the socioeconomic and morbidity factors associated with hospitalization and death. We conducted a retrospective cohort study including data from subjects aged 65 years or older residing in a nursing home with a confirmed COVID-19 infection from March 2020 to March 2021 (4,632 individuals) in Aragón (Spain). We analyzed their sociodemographic and clinical profiles and factors related to hospitalization and mortality at 7, 30, and 90 days of COVID-19 diagnosis using logistic regression analyses. We found that the risk of hospitalization and mortality varied according to sociodemographic and morbidity profile. There were inequalities in hospitalization by socioeconomic status and gender. Patients with low contributory pensions and women had a lower risk of hospitalization. Diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease were associated with a higher risk of hospitalization. On the contrary, people with dementia showed the highest risk of mortality with no hospitalization. Patient-specific factors must be considered to develop equitable and effective measures in nursing homes to be prepared for future health threats.
