Perceptions of Chronic Illness Care Among Veterans With Multiple Chronic Conditions.
Article in Military medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesGiven the burden of multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System, understanding perspectives of Veterans with MCC is essential to evaluate chronic care and ensure that care and quality improvement efforts align with patient needs. The purpose of this study was to use the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) instrument to examine perceptions of chronic care among Veterans with MCC.
methodsWe conducted a nation-wide, cross-sectional mailed survey. Study inclusion criteria were Veteran patients with MCC who receive care from eight VA facilities. The survey included questions on patient demographics, recent hospital or doctor visits, and the PACIC instrument. Chronic condition and health care utilization data were extracted from VA administrative databases.
resultsThe sample (n = 3,519) was mostly male; average age was 68.1 years. Mean PACIC summary score was 3.05 (standard deviation [SD] = 1.12). Respondents achieved higher scores (favorable perceptions) in the Delivery System Design and Patient Activation subscales, and lowest scores (unfavorable perceptions) in the Follow-up/Coordination subscale. Characteristics associated with higher scores included non-white race, recent VA doctor visit, and high school or less education.
conclusionsPerceptions of chronic care were high; however, quality improvements are needed to enhance care continuity and coordination.
