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

This study evaluated the impact of a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) pilot on utilization, costs, and quality and assessed variation in PCMH components. Data included the New Hampshire Comprehensive Healthcare Information System and Medical Home Index (MHI) scores for 9 pilot sites. A quasi-experimental, difference-in-difference model with propensity score-matched comparison group was employed. MHI scores were collected in late 2011. There were no statistically significant findings for utilization, cost, or quality in the expected direction. MHI scores suggest variation in type and level of implemented features. Understanding site-specific PCMH components and targeted change enacted by PCMHs is critical for future evaluation.
