1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aims to assess the current utilization status of transitional care service among older adults with chronic diseases and identify factors influencing their use. Methods: Utilizing Andersen's Behavioral Model, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in a specific region from October 2023 to December 2023 using convenience sampling. The survey aimed to analyze the impact of predisposing factors, enabling factors, and need factors on the utilization of transitional care services by older adults with chronic diseases. Results: Disease guidance had the highest utilization rate at 61.92% among various types of professional guidance on transitional care, while other professional guidance and services had utilization rates below 50%. Regarding predisposing factors, older adults with chronic diseases who were unmarried, employed part-time or full-time, or previously unemployed indicated lower utilization of transitional care services. In terms of enabling factors, those with a primary caregiver, high monthly family income, and medical insurance were more likely to use transitional care. With respect to need factors, older adults with a higher number of chronic diseases and impaired activities of daily living were less likely to use transitional care services. Conclusion: Older adults with chronic diseases tend to underutilize transitional care services. Based on Andersen's Behavioral Model, factors influencing the utilization of these services include marital status, employment status, previous occupation, primary caregiver presence, monthly family income, method of medical expense payment, number of chronic diseases, and Activities of Daily Living score.
