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

This study aimed to examine the 6-month hospital readmission rate for Transition Care Program (TCP) clients and its association with community goal attainment. This was a single-site retrospective cohort study of TCP clients admitted from 2014 to 2019. Goals were set at TCP entry and coded as goals 'within the home' or 'in the community'. Hospital readmissions were tracked using electronic health records. Logistic regression, area under the curve, and number needed to treat were the primary analyses performed. Of 747 (66.8% female and 33.2% male) client episodes, 164 (22%) resulted in a hospital readmission. Clients who were not readmitted to hospital set and achieved a higher number of community-based goals (1.08 vs. 0.8,
