Impact of Readmission Hospital Site on Outcomes in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Undergoing Surgery: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 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
backgroundPatients with intracerebral hemorrhage who undergo major neurosurgical procedures are at high risk for complications and early readmission. This study aimed to evaluate the association between readmission hospital site (index versus nonindex hospital) and patient outcomes.
methodsUsing the 2016 to 2020 Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent major neurosurgical procedures. The outcomes were discharge to home, in-hospital mortality, subsequent readmission, length of stay, and hospitalization costs. After selecting covariates with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, we applied Fine-Gray competing-risks models for discharge to home, Cox proportional hazards models for in-hospital mortality, and multivariable linear/logistic models for costs, length of stay, and subsequent readmission.
resultsAmong 7149 patients readmitted within 90 days after surgery, 63.9% were readmitted to index hospitals and 36.1% were readmitted to nonindex hospitals. Readmissions to index hospital were associated with a higher likelihood of discharge to home (subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.21 [95% CI, 1.04-1.41];
conclusionsIn this nationally representative cohort of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage undergoing major neurosurgical procedures, readmission to index hospital within 90 days is associated with higher likelihood of home discharge and lower costs. This pattern may reflect differences in continuity of information, hospital resources, and cross-hospital care coordination, and suggests several potential targets for future system-level improvement, including interoperable electronic health records, imaging access, tele-neurocritical consultation, structured return pathways, and regional rehabilitation integration.
