[Analysis of extent and quality of treatment of arthrosis patients based on routine data from German statutory health insurance].
Article in Der Orthopade, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn an epidemiological context arthrosis is becoming more important due to demographic changes. This study describes the routine medical treatment of patients with arthrosis.
methodsClaims data of a German statutory health insurance fund for the period from 2005 to 2008 were analyzed. All insured patients aged 60 years and older residing in Kinzigtal were included. In detail all 1,551 insured persons with a validated ambulatory diagnosis of gonarthrosis or coxarthrosis (ICD-10: M16/M17) were analyzed.
resultsThe treatment prevalence of arthrosis documented by practice-based physicians rose from 14 % (60-69 years old) to 25 % (80 years and older). At least one hospital admission between 2006 and 2008 was documented for two thirds of the patients whereby 86 and 95 patients were admitted because of coxarthrosis or gonarthrosis, respectively. A total of 112 and 96 insured patients received an implantation or revision of an endoprosthesis of the hip or knee, respectively. The need for nursing care did not decrease in cases of surgical compared to conservative treatment.
conclusionClaims data allow a differentiated analysis of medical treatment and quality of care as well as a comparison of alternatives of medical care for patients with arthrosis. Results of such analyses can be used to identify patients with increased vulnerability.
