Process Evaluation of Mi Puente (My Bridge): A Care Transitions Program for Hispanic/Latino Adults With Multimorbidity.
Article in Diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic CARE. 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
OBJECTIVE |: The Mi Puente (My Bridge) randomized controlled trial compared a culturally appropriate, team-based discharge program versus usual discharge procedures (usual care) in reducing readmission rates (inpatient, emergency, and observation visits) among Hispanic/Latino adults with multimorbidity. Primary outcome analyses revealed the Mi Puente group demonstrated increased hospital use relative to usual care. To better understand these unexpected effectiveness findings and inform future research, we conducted a multimethod process evaluation using components of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS |: Reach was assessed by examining the proportion of eligible participants enrolled and representativeness of the sample. Adoption was assessed via semistructured interviews with study staff. Implementation was examined using study fidelity forms (e.g., protocol adherence and duration/content of visits) and whether those who received the intervention per protocol differed from those who did not. RESULTS |: Mi Puente reached the target population, with high acceptance among eligible patients enrolled (75%), although participants tended to be younger, preferred English, and endorsed more behavioral health concerns. Adoption interviews and related Implementation findings revealed gaps in both the intervention content delivered and the availability of resources within San Diego County. Approximately 70% of participants received the intervention per protocol. CONCLUSIONS |: Multilevel strategies are needed to improve post-discharge outcomes in Hispanic/Latino adults with multimorbidity. These should include improved integration of inpatient and outpatient settings, the use of warm handoffs and home visits, ongoing clinical support, and implementation of structural-level interventions to address social determinants of health.
