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

Introduction: Health insurance changes (HIC) can lead to coverage gaps, alter the continuity of care, potentially affecting clinical outcomes; Heart Failure (HF) is a leading contributor to hospital readmissions in the U.S. We analyzed the relationship between HIC, readmission costs and mortality in patients with HF after a recent hospitalization. Methods: We used data from the 2019 National Readmission Database to analyze 30-day re-admission incidence, costs and mortality in hospitalized HF patients in relation to HIC. Results: Among 569,714 acute HF admissions, 4.2 % of patients ( Conclusion: HIC in high-risk HF patients are associated with worse clinical outcomes and higher cost burden, highlighting the need for efforts aimed at preserving continuity of coverage in this population.
