Fragmented Readmissions From a Nursing Facility in Medicare Beneficiaries.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 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
Over one-third of Medicare beneficiaries discharged to nursing facilities require readmission. When those readmissions are to a different hospital than the original admission, or "fragmented readmissions," they carry increased risks of mortality and subsequent readmissions. This study examines whether Medicare beneficiaries readmitted from a nursing facility are more likely to have a fragmented readmission than beneficiaries readmitted from home among a 2018 cohort of Medicare beneficiaries, and examined whether this association was affected by a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In fully adjusted models, readmissions from a nursing facility were 19% more likely to be fragmented (AOR 1.19, 95% CI 1.16, 1.22); this association was not affected by a diagnosis of AD. These results suggest that readmission from nursing facilities may contribute to care fragmentation for older adults, underscoring it as a potentially modifiable pre-hospital risk factor for fragmented readmissions.
