Patients' Use of Multiple Hospitals in a Major US City: Implications for Population Management.
Article in Population health management, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Understanding how often patients seek care from multiple hospitals is important for care of individuals and populations, but it is not routinely measured because of lack of data. This study used data from a health information exchange (HIE) to measure the frequency with which patients seek care from multiple hospitals. This was a retrospective cohort study (2010-2011) of all patients who sought emergency department (ED) or inpatient care at 6 participating hospitals in Manhattan. The study found that all 6 hospitals shared patients with each of the other hospitals and that 10.0% of all ED visits and 9.1% of all admissions were for patients who had been seen in a different hospital in the past 12 months. Patients are frequently seen by multiple hospitals, which poses a challenge for clinical care and population management. By capturing which patients are seen where and when, HIEs are well suited for facilitating population management.
