Equitable pathways: Reimagining behavioral health care transitions applying a transition of care bundle model.
Article in Nursing management, 2026. 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
backgroundTransitions from inpatient to outpatient care pose significant risks for individuals with behavioral health conditions (BHC), contributing to fragmented care and preventable hospital readmissions. Comprehensive transition of care (TOC) interventions that address both clinical and social needs may improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the First Thirty (FT) program, a nurse-led TOC bundle, in reducing hospital readmissions among patients with BHC and/or substance use disorder (SUD).
methodsThis retrospective chart review included adults aged 18 to 64 years with Medicaid or no insurance enrolled in the FT program across 10 hospitals from 2022 to 2023. The FT program applied a TOC bundle comprising care coordination, medication support, discharge phone calls, transportation assistance, and wellness resources. Hospitalizations during the 30 days before and after program enrollment were compared, with analyses conducted separately for 2022 and 2023 cohorts.
resultsAmong 3079 patients, readmission rates declined significantly after FT enrollment in both cohorts. In 2022, readmissions decreased from 12.7% pre-enrollment to 6.9% post-enrollment, and in 2023 from 8.2% to 3.3% (both P < .0001), despite differences in baseline cohort characteristics.
conclusionsThe FT TOC model was associated with substantial reductions in 30-day readmission, suggesting that structured, nurse-led care coordination can improve transitions and outcomes for patients with BHC and SUD.
