Depression and ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations among Medicare beneficiaries with chronic physical conditions.
Article in General hospital psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 examined the association between depression and hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (H-ACSC) among Medicare beneficiaries with chronic physical conditions.
methodsWe used a retrospective longitudinal design using multiple years (2002-2009) of linked fee-for-service Medicare claims and survey data from Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey to create six longitudinal panels. We followed individuals in each panel for a period of 3-years; first year served as the baseline and subsequent 2-years served as the follow-up. We measured depression, chronic physical conditions and other characteristics at baseline and examined H-ACSC at follow-up. We identified chronic physical conditions from survey data and H-ACSC and depression from fee-for-service Medicare claims. We analyzed unadjusted and adjusted relationships between depression and the risk of H-ACSC with chi-square tests and logistic regressions.
resultsAmong all Medicare beneficiaries, 9.3% had diagnosed depression. Medicare beneficiaries with depression had higher rates of any H-ACSC as compared to those without depression (13.6% vs. 7.7%). Multivariable regression indicated that, compared to those without depression, Medicare beneficiaries with depression were more likely to experience any H-ACSC.
conclusionsDepression was associated with greater risk of H-ACSC, suggesting that health care quality measures may need to include depression as a risk-adjustment variable.
