Health services use of Manitoba First Nations people: is it related to underlying need?
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundTo compare health status and health services use of Registered First Nations to all other Manitobans (AOM). If the Canadian health care system is meeting underlying need, those experiencing the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality should show the highest rates of health service use.
methodsRegistered First Nations' (n = 85,959) hospitalization and physician visit rates were compared to rates of all other Manitobans (n = 1,054,422) for fiscal year 1998/99. The underlying "need" for health care was measured using premature mortality (PMR), an age- and sex-adjusted rate of death before age 75. Data were derived from Manitoba's Population Health Research Data Repository, linked to federal Status Verification System files to determine Registered First Nations status.
resultsRegistered First Nations' PMR was double the rate of all other Manitobans (6.61 vs. 3.30 deaths per thousand, p < 0.05). Registered First Nations ambulatory physician visit rates (6.13 vs. 4.85 visits per person, p < 0.05), hospital separation rates (0.348 vs. 0.156 separations per person, p < 0.05) and total days of hospital care (1.75 vs. 1.05 days per person, p < 0.05) were higher than AOM rates. Consultation rates (first visit to a specialist) were slightly higher for Registered First Nations (0.29 vs. 0.27 visits per person, p < 0.05), and overall specialist visit rates were lower (0.895 vs. 1.284 visits per person, p < 0.05) compared with AOM.
conclusionAlthough hospitalization and ambulatory physician visit rates for First Nations reflect their poorer health status, consult and specialist rates do not reflect the underlying need for health care services.
