Transition and continuity of care after hospital discharge for COVID-19 survivors.
Observational study in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 assess care transition quality and compare it with the clinical characteristics and continuity of care after hospital discharge of COVID-19 survivors.
methodThis is a descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study, carried out with 300 patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from a hospital in southern Brazil. The Care Transitions Measure (CTM-15) and question guide about symptoms, difficulties and use of health services after discharge were used. Student's t-test, Pearson and Spearman correlation were used.
resultsThe mean score for care transition quality was 74.2 (±18.2). Factors associated with higher quality were receiving care in intensive care (p = 0.001), using non-invasive mechanical ventilation (p = 0.05), using vasopressors (p = 0.027) and having an appointment at the hospital after discharge (p = 0.014). Positive correlated factors were length of stay (p = 0.017), and negative factors were post-discharge symptoms of fatigue (p = 0.001), weakness (p = 0.008), difficulty doing moderate activities (p = 0.003) and how difficult recovery is (p = 0.003).
conclusionMost participants had a satisfactory perception of care transition. However, aspects such as care plans, referrals and follow-up after hospital discharge require improvements.
