Predictors of the use of healthcare services in children and adolescents in Spain.
Article in International journal of public health, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess medium to long term predictors of healthcare services use in a population-based sample of children/adolescents in Spain.
methodsA sample of children and adolescents aged 8-18 and their parents were evaluated at baseline (2003) and follow-up (2006). Total use of healthcare services and visits to specialist and dentists at the follow-up were analyzed.
resultsFour hundred fifty-four children/adolescents completed baseline and follow-up assessments (response rate 54 %). 90 % of respondents reported at least one visit during the 12 months previous to the follow-up. Low socioeconomic status (beta coefficient = 0.30; 95 % CI = 0.02-0.57), double healthcare coverage (0.41; 0.17-0.66), parental use of services, poor mental health and activity limitation were associated to the total number of visits. Access to specialist was associated to double healthcare coverage (OR = 1.77; 1.01-3.07) and parental primary level of education (OR = 0.51; 0.32-0.81). Age and low family affluence predicted visits to dentists (OR = 0.38; 0.19-0.73).
conclusionNo barriers to healthcare services use were found. Family level of education, family affluence and double healthcare coverage predicted the use of specialists and dentists.
