Impact of using a centralized matching process on nursing home staffing.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo examine the effectiveness of adopting a novel centralized matching process for reducing staff shortages in Massachusetts nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThis study involved several datasets and 216 Massachusetts nursing homes that used a novel online portal to enter demand for nursing staff from May 2020 to April 2021.
resultsThere were significant associations between the staff-to-resident ratio and demand entries lagged by three and four weeks, and no significant associations between the staff-to-resident ratio and demand entries lagged by one and two weeks. In contrast, we found significant associations between the staff-to-resident ratio and the number of generated staff matches lagged by one, two and three weeks, with larger impacts overall.
conclusionThis study shows how adopting a centralized matching process may expedite and increase improvement in the staff-to-resident ratio in nursing homes, compared with the setup in which nursing homes need to seek nurses on their own.
