Risk factors for inpatient facility admission among home health care patients with diabetes.
Article in Nursing outlook. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHome health care (HHC) patients with diabetes are at high risk for inpatient admissions. PURPOSE: To identify variables associated with inpatient admissions among adults age ≥50 with diabetes receiving HHC in the community and in assisted living (AL).
methodsRetrospective HHC data (collected October 2021 to March 2022 in the Southern United States) from the Outcome and Assessment Information Set D were analyzed with logistic regression (n = 5,308 patients). DISCUSSION: The inpatient admission rate was 29.5%. For community-dwelling patients, multiple hospitalizations, depression, limited cognitive function, decreased activities of daily living (ADL) performance, and unhealed pressure ulcer or injury ≥stage 2 were significantly associated with inpatient admission. For those in AL, multiple prior hospitalizations and decreased ability to perform ADLs were associated with inpatient admission.
conclusionUnderstanding risk factors for inpatient admissions among patients with diabetes can support the identification of at-risk patients and inform interventions.
