Processes and Outcomes of Congestive Heart Failure Care by Different Types of Primary Care Models.
Article in Journal of cardiac failure, 2018. 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
backgroundHaving nurse practitioners (NPs) as primary care providers for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) is 1 way to address the growing shortage of primary care physicians (PCPs). METHODS AND
resultsWe used inverse probability of treatment weighted with propensity score to examine the processes and outcomes of care for patients under 3 care models. Approximately 72.9%, 0.8%, and 26.3% of CHF patients received care under the PCP model, the NP model, and the shared care model, respectively. Patients under the NP or shared care models were more likely than those under the PCP model to be referred to cardiologists (odds ratio 1.35, 95% confidence interval 1.32-1.37; odds ratio 1.32, 95% confidence interval 1.30-1.35) and to get guideline-recommended medications. NPs and PCPs had similar rates of emergency room (ER) visits and Medicare spending after adjusting for processes of care. Patients under the shared care model had a higher burden of comorbidity and experienced a higher rate of ER visits and hospitalizations than those under the PCP model.
conclusionThe delivery of CHF care mirrors the severity of comorbidity in these patients. The high rate of hospitalization and ER visits in the shared care model underscores the need to design and implement more effective chronic disease management and integrated care programs.
