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

Home Health Focus is a new publicly available data set representing home health utilization by Medicare beneficiaries, aggregated annually at the home health agency, county, and state levels from 2016 to 2019. This data can be used by anyone interested in trends of Medicare home health users, both locally and nationally. We describe the creation of the cohorts of home health users, including over 6 million home health stays from 5 million Medicare beneficiaries. We also provide examples of potential research questions using these data sets.
