Association Between Race and Length of Stay Among Stroke Patients: The National US Emergency Departments Data Set.
Article in Stroke (Hoboken, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: There remain ongoing racial and ethnic disparities in care and outcomes among stroke patients treated in the United States. However, length of stay and inpatient charges warrant further evaluation. Methods: The 2019 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, which includes data from roughly 20% of US emergency departments, was queried for patients with cerebral infarction. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of prolonged length of hospital stay (>75th percentile) and inpatient charges among various race andethnic groups, including income and insurance status, age, modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, vascular risk factors, and delivery of thrombolysis and thrombectomy. Results: Of 617 946 estimated patients with acute ischemic stroke, 398 661 (65.5%) were >65 years, and 386 096 (63.5%) were Medicare beneficiaries. Lower income and Medicaid or self-pay status were more commonly observed in Black and Hispanic versus White patients ( Conclusion: These results build on prior population-based studies that indicate ongoing disparities in stroke care based on differences in socioeconomic status and race, but no difference in inpatient charges. Disposition delays may be due to clinical severity or access to rehabilitation facilities.
