Association between Prehospital Visits and Poor Health Outcomes in Korean Acute Stroke Patients: A National Health Insurance Claims Data Study.

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
This study aimed to determine whether prehospital visits to other medical institutions before admission are associated with prolonged hospital stay, readmission, or mortality rates in acute stroke patients. Using the claims data from the Korean Health Insurance Service, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 58,418 newly diagnosed stroke patients aged ≥ 20 years from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. Extended hospital stay (≥7 days; median value) following initial admission, readmission within 180 days after discharge, and all-cause mortality within 30 days were measured as health outcomes using multiple logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age, sex, income, residential area, and medical history. Stroke patients with a prehospital visit (10,992 patients, 18.8%) had a higher risk of long hospitalization (odds ratio = 1.06; 95% confidence interval = 1.02-1.10), readmission (1.19; 1.14-1.25), and mortality (1.23; 1.13-1.33) compared with patients without a prehospital visit. Female patients and those under 65 years of age had increased unfavorable outcomes (
