Discharge readiness of elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To Identify potential categories of discharge readiness among elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and analyze differences across categories. Methods: Between January 2025 and April 2025, a total of 356 elderly OVCF patients were included. The following data were collected: general information, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS). Latent profile analysis and logistic regression were performed. Results: The mean total score of discharge readiness among 356 elderly OVCF patients was 87.53 ± 16.90. Three latent profiles emerged as the optimal model: "Moderate Discharge Readiness Group" (15.2%), "High Discharge Readiness-Low Personal Status Group" (76.1%), and "Low Discharge Readiness-Low Adaptability Group" (8.7%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that comorbidities, length of stay in hospital, whether first hospitalization, and QDTS scores were factors influencing the potential discharge readiness profiles among elderly OVCF patients. Conclusion: Discharge readiness among elderly OVCF patients exhibits significant heterogeneity and is influenced by multifactorial, multilevel factors. Clinicians should not view these factors in isolation but rather understand their dynamic interplay across patient groups with varying readiness levels to implement the most targeted intervention strategies.
