Improving transitions between nursing homes and emergency departments: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundNursing home residents with acute illnesses have complex healthcare needs that often require transitions across multiple organizations. This study explores the experiences of diverse healthcare professionals from organizations involved in transitions between nursing homes and emergency departments and identifies conditions necessary to improve this transitional process.
methodsEighteen qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals were conducted, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis based on the work of Braun & Clarke. This paper adheres to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) standards.
resultsThree themes were identified: (1) Inclusive and supportive engagement, emphasizing the importance of involving care recipients while providing support; (2) Operational readiness, indicating the structures and supports needed to ensure that staff can effectively respond to unexpected events; and (3) Cross-organizational collaboration, pinpointing that streamlined communication strategies across healthcare organizations facilitate a shared decision-making process among healthcare professionals and ensure that essential patient information is readily accessible at each transitional step.
conclusionsA comprehensive approach addressing these individual, operational, and systemic factors can enhance transitional care between nursing homes and emergency departments.
