Comparing Hospital Length of Stay Between Persons With LEP and English-Speaking Patients in a Large Rural Academic Medical Center.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2024. 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
backgroundPatients with limited English proficiency that are hospitalized without regular access to professional medical interpreters have a longer length of stay (LOS).
methodsRetrospective data were queried from EPIC, the electronic medical record system used by the authors. Queried data focused on inpatient hospitalizations between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021. Patient primary language was grouped into English, Spanish, and other non-English language.
resultsSpanish-speaking patients live on average 39.6 miles farther from a hospital than English-speaking patients and have a 0.34 lower case mix index. After English, Spanish is the second-most frequently spoken language. Regression analyses found language to be a significant factor in LOS, LOS variance, and case mix index. DISCUSSION: A 2.34-day longer LOS for Spanish-speaking patients demonstrates an important health care disparity warranting further attention.
