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

Demand for home health is growing. Registered and licensed practical/vocational nurses (RNs and LPN/LVNs) are integral to the provision of home health services, but a limited body of evidence suggests that the workforce is unstable and possibly shrinking. We assessed RNs' and LPN/LVNs' transitions into and out of the home health sector using data from the Current Population Survey monthly files from January 2003 to June 2023. Specifically, we compared turnover from home health versus the hospital sector and assessed entry into home health from other health care and non-health care sectors. Turnover was consistently and significantly higher in the home health sector compared with the hospital sector. The predicted probability of nurses entering home health from any other sector hovered around or below 1%. High turnover combined with low home health entry raises concerns about home health nursing services nationwide.
