Predicting Health Care Utilization for Children With Respiratory Insufficiency Using Parent-Proxy Ratings of Children's Health-Related Quality of Life.
Article in Journal of pediatric health care : official publication of National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates & Practitioners. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionChildren with chronic respiratory insufficiency and mechanical ventilation often experience acute illnesses requiring unscheduled hospitalizations. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) may predict future health care utilization.
methodsParticipants were 30 days to 22 years old with chronic respiratory insufficiency (N = 120). Parent-proxies completed global HRQL and general health measures. Outcomes were total health care (emergency department, outpatient, inpatient) and inpatient days over 6 months. Adjusted negative binomial regression estimated the effects of global HRQL and general health on utilization.
resultsThree quarters of children had any utilization; 32% had hospitalizations. Children with poor/fair global HRQL had 3.7 times more health care days than those with very good/excellent global HRQL. Children with poor/fair global HRQL had 6.3 times more inpatient days than those with very good/excellent global HRQL. Similar relationships existed between general health and utilization. DISCUSSION: HRQL was associated with health care and inpatient days. Clinical teams can use HRQL as a marker for utilization risk, enabling potentially earlier intervention, better outcomes, and lower costs.
