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

The 1965 legislation that established Medicare and Medicaid declared that the Federal Government would not interfere in clinical medicine. Despite the original intent, Medicare and Medicaid have had tremendous influence on medical practice. In this article, we focus on four policy areas that illustrate the influence of CMS (and its predecessor agencies) on medical practice. We discuss the implications of the relationship between CMS and clinical medicine and how this relationship has changed over time. We conclude with thoughts about potential future efforts at CMS.
