Determinants of hospital length of stay in ischemic stroke patients: A retrospective cohort study at Indonesian national stroke center.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStroke is a major cause of death and disability, with prolonged hospitalization driving up healthcare costs. This study investigated factors influencing length of stay (LOS) in ischemic stroke patients at a leading Indonesian stroke center.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 2,804 ischemic stroke patients admitted in 2020. Univariable and multivariable zero truncated negative binomial regression analyses were performed using R Statistical Software (v4.5.1) to identify factors significantly associated with LOS.
resultsThe study population had a mean age of 61.3 years (SD ± 11.4), with a predominance of male patients (63.5%). The average length of LOS was 5.1 days (SD ± 3.4). Several factors were significantly associated with LOS, including ward class (hospital ward class II: 0.91 IRR, 95% CI:0.86-0.97; VIP class: 0.87 IRR, 95%CI:0.79-0.96), payment method (private/co-share: 1.13 IRR, 95%CI:1.03-1.25; out-of-pocket: 1.19 IRR, 95%CI:1.09-1.30), and stroke severity (moderate: 1.16 IRR, 95%CI:1.11-1.21; severe: 1.56 IRR, 95%CI:1.44-1.69). Additionally, elevated blood pressure (0.85 IRR, 95%CI:0.73-0.98), stage 1 hypertension (0.90 IRR, 95%CI:0.82-0.99), diabetes mellitus (1.09 IRR, 95%CI:1.04-1.15), dyslipidemia (0.95 IRR, 95%CI:0.90-0.999), all at admission, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) history (1.24 IRR, 95%CI:1.19-1.29), hospital complications (1.99 IRR, 95%CI:1.87-2.12), and therapeutic interventions (1.38 IRR, 95%CI:1.29-1.48) were also significantly linked to LOS. A subgroup analysis showed that CVD history, hospital complications, and therapeutic interventions during hospitalization were significantly linked to the LOS across all levels of stroke severity.
conclusionCVD history, hospital complications, and therapeutic interventions significantly influenced LOS across stroke severities. Early intervention, complication prevention, and equitable care are essential to shorten hospitalization, reduce costs, and improve outcomes in Indonesian stroke patients.
