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

(1) Background: Post-acute care (PAC) aims to support functional recovery in older adults after acute hospitalization in order to regain a sufficient level of self-care facilitating their return home. However, the long-term outcomes of PAC are understudied due to challenges in recording a follow-up. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of a 12-month follow-up after PAC in Swiss nursing homes, examining practicability and potential factors influencing participation rate. (2) Methods: Collection of one-year follow-up data among 140 eligible patients after PAC in nursing homes was attempted. Patients were recruited using letters and phone calls between August and December 2017. We compared baseline data of all initial PAC patients with those who declined participation in the follow-up to identify factors potentially influencing participation. (3) Results: Overall mortality at 12 months was 25% (
