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

objectivesTo describe the development of the Prioritisation Scoring Index (PSI) and its use in a prioritisation framework, providing examples where it has been used to prioritise between bids from different specialities and to assist in decision-making regarding funding of service developments. To outline lessons learned for other health authorities when developing their own prioritisation methodologies.

backgroundThe PSI was designed for prioritising: investments and dis-investments; non-recurring and recurring monies as well as differing specialities, care groups and types of intervention.

methodsThe PSI consists of a 'basket' of utility criteria and takes account of the numbers of people that would receive the proposed intervention and the marginal cost for each additional person receiving the intervention. A multidisciplinary panel scored and ranked the bids. Two rankings were produced for each intervention according to (1) the average panel score for the utility criteria and (2) the cost per additional person receiving the intervention. An average of these two rankings produced the overall PSI rankings.

resultsAlmost 200 bids, with a total value of pound 50 million, were ranked, using the PSI, to prioritise developments worth approximately pound 17.5 million that could be funded in a phased implementation through the Health Improvement Programme.

conclusionsUse of the PSI has allowed explicit prioritisation of development bids in substantial exercises for both non-recurring and recurring funding. We describe steps to be considered when other health authorities are developing their own prioritisation frameworks.
