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

backgroundPrevious research using cross-sectional data has shown a positive relationship between patient activation and quality of care. The quantitative relationships in the same patients over time, however, remain undefined.

objectiveTo examine the relationship between changes in activation over time and patient-assessed quality of chronic illness care.

designProspective cohort study.

participantsThe study used data reported annually from 2008 (N = 3761) to 2010 (N = 3040), using self-report survey questionnaires, completed by patients with type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort in Queensland, Australia. MAIN MEASURES: Principal measures were the 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM), and the 20-item Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) instrument.

methodsNonparametric anova was used to determine the association between patient activation and patient-assessed quality of care in low and high patient activation groups at baseline (2008), and in 2009 and 2010, when patients had changed group membership. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to compare the PACIC scores between baseline and each follow-up survey for the same patient activation level.

resultsPatient activation was positively associated with the median PACIC score within each survey year and within each of the groups defined at baseline (high- and low-activation groups; P < 0.001).

conclusionsPatient activation and the PACIC change in the same direction and should be considered together in the interpretation of patient care assessment. This can be carried out by interpreting PACIC scores within strata of PAM.
