Regional differences in the provision of home-visit rehabilitation services in Japan.

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
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify regional disparities in the provision of home-visit rehabilitation services across all prefectures in Japan by performing a secondary analysis of government data. [Participants and Methods] The number of home-visit rehabilitation sessions per prefecture was determined to estimate regional disparities. Furthermore, the data for 2013 and 2021 were compared to investigate changes in home-visit rehabilitation provision. [Results] From 2013 to 2021, the increase in the number of home-visit rehabilitation sessions by prefecture was greater than that in the older population. However, prefectures that provided fewer home-visit rehabilitation sessions to older residents in 2013 also tended to provide fewer sessions in 2021. Therefore, regional disparities at the prefectural level did not decrease. In the Tohoku region, four out of six prefectures continued to have low provision levels of home-visit rehabilitation services. [Conclusion] The number of home-visit rehabilitation sessions provided was low in rural prefectures. Although the findings suggest an improvement in the provision of home-visit rehabilitation services from 2013 to 2021, the increased number of rehabilitation sessions did not reduce regional disparities among prefectures.
