Assessing the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on thirty days readmission rate based on patient's demographics, substance use, and insurance.
Article in Annals of 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
Providing the highest quality care with no biases is the goal of every healthcare system. As a part of that goal hospital readmission has been investigated due to its impact on healthcare cost and case fatality rate in patient outcome. Patient's demographics, substance use and insurance barriers have been investigated as factors for readmission rate but the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on those biases and barriers have not been studied extensively yet. In our retrospective cross-sectional study, we placed the scope on readmission rate with the intention to investigate any relation with patient's demographics including ethnicity, gender, language, substance use and insurance barriers and if there has been any change in the area pre and post COVID-19 pandemic. Total of 1713 readmitted patients were identified and split into 893 pre-COVID-19 and 820 post COVID-19 pandemic. Our multivariable analysis showed that the rate of readmissions during the COVID-19 pandemic was statistically higher among substance users (
