Multiple Complex Chronic Conditions and Pediatric Hospice Utilization among California Medicaid Beneficiaries, 2007-2010.
Article in Journal of palliative medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundOver 42,000 children die each year in the United States, including many with multiple complex chronic conditions (MCCCs), but little is known about whether the presence of MCCCs influences families to utilize pediatric hospice care.
objectiveThe study objective was to examine the relationship between MCCCs and pediatric hospice utilization among Medicaid beneficiaries.
methodsA retrospective, longitudinal cohort design was conducted with 2007-2010 California Medicaid data to examine the relationship between MCCCs (i.e., two or more MCCCs) and pediatric hospice utilization (i.e., hospice enrollment, hospice length of stay). Multivariate logistic regression with year fixed effects examined the effect of MCCCs on hospice enrollment, and negative binomial model with year fixed effects explored the relationship between MCCCs and hospice length of stay.
resultsMore than 10% of children enrolled in hospice care with an average length of stay of approximately three days. In the study sample, 48.6% of the children had MCCCs. MCCCs were not significantly related to hospice enrollment. However, children with MCCCs (incidence rate ratios = 4.25, p < 0.01) were associated with an increase in the number of days in hospice care.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that children with MCCCs have limited hospice care utilization at end of life. Future research is needed to explore barriers to hospice care for children with MCCCs.
