Emergency department visits by older adults receiving postacute care in skilled nursing facilities.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 2024. 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
Skilled nursing facilities (SNF) represent a common postdischarge destination for hospitalized older adults. The goals of SNF care include the completion of extended skilled nursing care and physical rehabilitation to enable patients to safely return home. However, nearly one in four older adults discharged to SNF are rehospitalized and one in five seek care in the emergency department (ED) but are discharged back to SNF. Our aim was to measure the national prevalence and costs to Medicare of ED visits by SNF patients. Of the 1,551,703 Medicare beneficiaries discharged to SNF in 2019, 16.3% had an ED visit within 14 days (n = 253,104). Of those ED visits, 25.5% resulted in a same-day discharge back to SNF (n = 64,472), costing Medicare $24.6 million. Novel care models that can leverage SNF staff and resources while providing rapid diagnostic services are urgently needed.
