The potential for integrated care programmes to improve quality of care as assessed by patients with COPD: early results from a real-world implementation study in The Netherlands.
Article in International journal of integrated care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveWe investigated whether patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who were enrolled in disease-management programmes (DMPs) felt that they received a better quality of care than non-enrolled COPD patients.
methodsOur cross-sectional study was performed among patients (n=665) enrolled in four DMPs in the Netherlands. We also evaluated COPD patients (n=227) not enrolled in such programmes. Patients' assessment of chronic-illness care (PACIC) was measured with a 20-item questionnaire. The instrument had five pre-defined domains: patient activation (three items), delivery-system/practice design (three items), goal setting/tailoring (five items), problem solving/contextual (four items), and follow-up/coordination (five items).
resultsTHE MEAN OVERALL PACIC SCORE (SCALE: 1-5) of enrolled DMP patients was 2.94, and that of non-enrolled DMP patients was 2.73 (p≤0.01). Differences in the same direction were found in the subscales of patient activation (p≤0.01), delivery-system/practice design (p≤0.001), and problem solving/contextual (p≤0.001).
conclusionsOur results suggest that even in the early stages of implementation, DMPs for COPD may significantly improve care.
