A Path to Better Care for Older Adults: Optimizing Medicare and Medicaid Payments Through Implementation of the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure.
Article in Inquiry : a journal of medical care organization, provision and financing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Over 95% of US hospitals rely on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for at least 50% of their revenue, and almost all participate in the CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program. Starting January 1, 2025, hospitals in the IQR program will avoid Medicare payment reductions by reporting on the 5 domains of the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure. This is essential because the population of older adults is increasing, as are the harms older adults experience in US hospitals. Meeting these 5 domains is associated with providing higher-quality care for older adults, leading to improved outcomes and reduced costs. Reporting on the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure will be visible to older adults and their family caregivers through CMS Care Compare. There are evidence-based initiatives that hospitals can implement to achieve the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure and to prevent or reduce iatrogenic harm in older adults such as falls, adverse drug events, and delirium, reduce length of stay in emergency departments, improve outcomes and reduce length of stay, and reduce overall cost of care to Medicare.
