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
objectivePopulation-based studies that examine both hospitalization and inpatient death patterns by incarceration status are sparse. We sought to compare hospitalization and inpatient death patterns by incarceration status in the United States.
methodsIn this retrospective study of adults aged 18 to 64 years, we used the 2021 State Inpatient Database files from 31 US jurisdictions, which included discharges from general acute care hospitals. We compared hospitalization and inpatient death patterns among incarcerated adults versus nonincarcerated adults using adjusted rate ratios (ARRs) and 95% CIs, estimated with negative binomial regression. We examined discharges overall and discharges by nonoverlapping hospital service line.
resultsThe study population included 6.3 million hospital discharges (incarcerated, 1.1%; mean [SD] age, 47.5 [12.7] y; women, 46.8%; non-Hispanic White race and ethnicity, 36.6%), with 2.2% inpatient deaths. For discharges overall, incarcerated adults had higher rates of hospitalization (ARR = 2.9; 95% CI, 2.2-3.8) than nonincarcerated adults, which was driven mainly by higher rates of inpatient admissions classified as mental health/substance use (ARR = 11.8; 95% CI, 8.5-16.8) and injury (ARR = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.6-2.2) among incarcerated adults than among nonincarcerated adults. However, surgical (ARR = 0.6; 95% CI, 0.5-0.6) and medical (ARR = 0.8; 95% CI, 0.7-0.9) admissions were lower among incarcerated adults than among nonincarcerated adults. Overall, incarcerated adults had lower inpatient mortality during their length of stay (ARR = 0.4; 95% CI, 0.4-0.5) than nonincarcerated adults, which was consistent by hospital service line.
conclusionsConsidering hospitalization and mortality together offers a clear view of health care use among incarcerated adults and underscores the need for integrated correctional-hospital data systems to inform public health practice and policy.
