Individualized Care Plans for High Utilizers.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2025. 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
Frequently admitted patients (i.e., 'high utilizers') comprise a small percentage of all patients yet consume a relatively large proportion of hospital resources. This quality improvement project aimed to reduce hospital resource utilization by implementing individualized care plans (ICPs) for high utilizers. An electronic health record (EHR) report identified high utilizers. A hospitalist workgroup then selected patients who were relatively young with frequent low-risk admissions. The workgroup created and documented ICPs in the EHR, then linked to the ICPs from numerous locations. For the selected patients, total admissions per year were reduced from 125 to 41 (-67%) and days per year in hospital from 497 to 219 (-56%), while length of stay was increased from 4 to 5.4 (+26%) days. Implementation of ICPs can allow high utilizers to spend more time at home, while simultaneously freeing up valuable hospital resources for the community. Making ICPs easily accessible is key to success.
