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
backgroundReadmission, defined as any admission after discharge from the same hospital, has negative implications for health outcomes. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with hospital readmission among psychiatric patients. METHODOLOGY: This case-control study analyzed 202 clinical records of patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital between 2019-2021. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. Qualitative variables were presented using frequencies, percentages, and chi-square tests for association. Quantitative variables were described using central tendency measures and dispersion of data, investigated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student's t-test or Wilcoxon test as appropriate. Regression analysis was conducted to determine factors linked to readmission. p < 0.05 was considered.
resultsWomen accounted for a higher readmission rate (59%). Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia had a higher readmission rate (63%), experienced longer transfer times to the hospital during readmissions, and had shorter hospital stays. Polypharmacy and pharmacological interactions were associated with readmission. Olanzapine treatment was identified as a risk factor for readmission (ExpB = 3.203, 95% CI 1.405-7.306, p = 0.006).
conclusionsThe findings suggest avoiding polypharmacy and medications with high side effect profiles to reduce readmissions. This study offers valuable insights for clinical decision-making from admission to discharge planning, aiming to enhance the quality of care.
