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

Hospital-at-home is an evidence-based model for delivering care in patient homes in lieu of a traditional hospital admission. Recent policy changes and technological advancement have spurred growth in hospital-at-home programs across the United States. The role of emergency medicine in hospital-at-home programs has not been clearly defined. We argue that emergency medicine should contribute to the design, implementation, and leadership of these programs, as experts in management of acute illness and patient disposition. Further growth of hospital-at-home is likely to have important implications for the practice of emergency medicine, prompting adaptation and innovation. Finally, hospital-at-home offers a novel strategy to address emergency department boarding, although there is little evidence to suggest that these programs will meaningfully alleviate boarding in either the short term or long term.
