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

Despite the relatively high turnover rates and increasing demand for homecare, little is known about the costs of turnover for homecare employers. To create effective policies to reduce turnover and associated costs, employers require an understanding of what factors contribute to the costs of turnover. Building upon existing models from labour economic and human resources theories, we worked with subject matter experts from a large homecare employer organization to co-design the first known homecare cost of turnover model. The resulting model accounts for sector-specific cost differences and can be used to estimate the costs of homecare worker turnover. As homecare continues to face high workforce instability, clear estimates of the cost of turnover can guide organizations and decision-makers in the evidence-based design of retention policies and programs to the benefit of homecare workers, funders, those seeking homecare, and the broader health and social care system.
