Evaluating Differences in Disaster-Related Staffing for Nursing Homes by Ownership Status.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 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
For-profit ownership has been linked to lower levels and skill composition of nursing home staffing, yet it is unclear whether disasters exacerbate these differences. We identified 914 nursing homes in Hurricane Ian's path (September 2022), of which 665 (72.8%) were for-profit. We applied a comparative interrupted time series design to compare staffing hours per resident per day (HPRPD) before and after landfall. Before the storm, for-profit facilities staffed 9% fewer total HPRPD than not-for-profits (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87-0.95), with similar deficits in the employed (permanent staff) (0.88, 95% CI 0.83-0.93) and licensed (0.90, 95% CI 0.86-0.94) categories. Both for-profit (1.04; 95% CI 1.03-1.05) and not-for-profit facilities (1.03; 95% CI 1.02-1.04) increased total staffing in the post-disaster period, driven by employed personnel; the difference in the magnitude of their responses (1%) was not statistically significant. Baseline staffing differences may affect nursing homes' capacity to meet disaster-related needs.
