1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesPost-discharge adverse events, such as falls, hospitalizations, and death, are more prevalent among older adults with dementia, compared to their cognitively intact counterparts. This study aimed to test the association between physical resilience and post discharge adverse events in a sample of older adults with dementia.

methodThrough phone calls with caregivers over one year, we obtained data on physical resilience and post-discharge adverse events through caregiver report among a sample of 314 recently discharged older adults with dementia. We performed negative binomial regression (falls and hospitalizations) and logistic regression (death), controlling for covariates.

resultsGreater physical resilience at one month post discharge was significantly associated with less falls, hospitalizations, and death within one year.

conclusionThis study highlights a particular patient profile, recently discharged older adults living with dementia who have low physical resilience, that could be targeted for intervention when discharged from the hospital.
