Length of Stay in Hospitals Reporting Participation in Bundled Payment Programs: 2016 to 2022.
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. 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
Bundled payment programs aim to align the incentives of acute and post-acute providers during an episode of care. Prior studies of the impact of bundled payments on hospital length of stay (LOS) were mixed, and none evaluated hospital exposure to bundled payments across all payers (public and commercial). In this study, we used the American Hospital Association survey data for 2016 to 2022 to compare the LOS of hospitals that participated in bundled payments to those that did not participate. We used regression analysis with interaction terms to compare the changes in LOS of hospitals that participated in bundled payments with concurrent changes in LOS of hospitals that did not participate in bundled payments. The models included hospital and year fixed effects. We also conducted subgroup analyses by payer type. All-payer LOS was not associated with participation in bundled payment (ATT 0.08 days; 95% CI -0.34, 0.17;
