Inpatient reimbursement system in Italy: how do tariffs relate to costs?
Article in Health care management science, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
In 1995 the Italian National Health Service begun to fund its hospitals on a per case basis, classified according to a DRGs system. Five out of 21 Italian regions developed a regional DRG tariff system, while the majority adopted the system set at national level. The article presents how tariffs are set by the national government and by the Lombardy Region. Production cost (mainly assessed according to a top-down, gross-costing approach) is only one of the variables used for setting tariffs. Microcosting is not used and, apparently, is not deemed as an appropriate methodology. After 10 years since their introduction national and regional tariffs are still not derived from explicit algorithms.
