Predictors of 15-year transitions across living and care settings in a population of Swedish older adults.
Article in Age and ageing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the association of sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics with the volume of transitions and specific trajectories across living and care settings.
methodsUsing data from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen study, we identified transitions across home (with or without social care), nursing homes, hospitals and postacute care facilities among 3021 adults aged 60+. Poisson and multistate models were used to investigate the association between sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics and both the overall volume and hazard ratios (HRs) of specific transitions.
resultsOver 15 years, 720 (23.8%) participants experienced between 5 and 10 transitions, and 816 (26.7%) experienced >10 transitions across living and care settings. A higher number of transitions was observed in older participants with multimorbidity and slower walking speed. In contrast, cognitive impairment and disability were associated with a lower number of transitions. After hospital and postacute discharge, each additional year of age (HR range 1.06-1.08) and being a woman compared with being a man (HR range 1.35-4.38) increased the likelihood of discharge to home care. Multimorbidity (HR range 1.14-1.23) and slow gait speed (HR range 1.11-1.50) increased the risk of hospitalisation and home care after hospital discharge. Cognitive impairment raised the hazard of nursing home placement (HR range 1.99-2.15). Disability was associated with a higher hazard of nursing home placement after hospital discharge (HR range 2.57-3.07).
conclusionsAccounting for older adults' whole journey across living and care settings, we identified transition-specific predictors and potential triggers that could be timely leveraged to better tailor care to older adults' needs.
