Health-related social needs before and after critical illness among Medicare beneficiaries.

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
objectivesAmong older persons hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) for critical illness, little is known about the health-related social needs (HRSNs) of food insecurity, social isolation, and transportation disadvantage in the year after discharge. This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of food insecurity, social isolation, and transportation disadvantage in the years preceding and following critical illness and to evaluate factors associated with each post-ICU HRSN.
methodsData from community-living participants in Rounds 2-9 of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) 2011 cohort were linked to Medicare claims to identify ICU hospitalizations. HRSNs, demographics, preadmission, and in-hospital factors were drawn from NHATS and claims data. The prevalence of each HRSN was determined before and after critical illness. Factors associated with each HRSN in the year after discharge were evaluated using population-weighted multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAmong 450 participants, the mean age was 80.1 (SD 7.1), 50.9% were women, and 110 (24.7%) were non-Hispanic Black individuals. All three HRSNs increased in the year after critical illness (food insecurity, 4.9%-7.8%, social isolation, 31.9%-39.4%, and transportation disadvantage, 10.5%-15.6%). Socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with greater odds of social isolation after critical illness (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.26; 95% CI, 1.38-7.70). Mechanical ventilation was associated with greater odds of post-ICU transportation disadvantage (aOR, 2.69; 95% CI, 1.03-7.01). No factors were significantly associated with post-ICU food insecurity. DISCUSSION: These findings emphasize the need for screening and interventions to address HRSNs among older survivors of critical illness.
