The effect of a medicaid managed care program on patterns of psychiatric readmission among adolescents: evidence from Maryland.
Article in The journal of behavioral health services & research, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study evaluates the effect of Maryland's Medicaid managed care program on patterns of psychiatric readmission for adolescents. Rates and frequency of readmissions are compared before (FY 1997) and after (FY 1998) the implementation of Maryland's Medicaid managed care program. Medicaid claims files were reviewed for 881 adolescents consecutively admitted to three major Maryland psychiatric hospitals between July 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998. Adolescents admitted after the managed care reforms were more likely to experience multiple readmissions. The 1-year cumulative rate of readmission pre- and postmanaged care was 33% and 38%, respectively; the highest risk period fell within the first 15-30 days postdischarge. The high rate of early readmissions raises concern about the quality of care and the adequacy of community-based services. Findings also suggest that youths with serious emotional disturbances who are high users of inpatient care may be adversely affected by the managed care reforms.
