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

aimsAfter leaving skilled nursing facilities (SNF), 20% of people with dementia (PWD) are re-hospitalized within 30 days. We assessed fidelity, acceptability, preliminary outcomes, and mechanisms of the Connect-Home ADRD transitional care intervention.

designA feasibility study of Connect-Home ADRD.

methodsThe Connect-Home intervention was adapted for dementia-specific needs. PWD and caregiver dyads in 2 SNFs received transitional care. Data sources included interviews with PWD and caregivers and a review of health records.

results19 of 34 eligible dyads (56%) were enrolled. The intervention was feasible (components delivered for >84% of dyads) and acceptable (dyads rated it very helpful and not difficult to use). Connect-Home ADRD adaptations included in-home support to manage symptoms of dementia and unplanned events, such as transition to hospice. IMPACT: Connect-Home ADRD is feasible, acceptable, and merits future research as an intervention to reduce rapid return to acute care following SNF stays.
