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

objectiveHIV care delivery in resource-limited settings (RLS) may serve as a paradigm for chronic disease care, but comprehensive measurement frameworks are lacking. Our objective was to adapt the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) framework for use in RLS, and evaluate the performance of HIV treatment programs within this framework. DESIGN AND

settingCross-sectional survey administered within the AIDS Prevention Initiative in Nigeria (APIN) network.

participantsMedical directors at APIN clinics.

main outcome measuresWe adapted the 2011 US National Committee on Quality Assurance's PCMH standard to develop a survey measuring five domains of HIV care: (i) enhancing access and continuity, (ii) identifying and managing patient populations, (iii) planning and managing care, (iv) promoting self-care and support and (v) measuring and improving performance.

resultsThirty-three of 36 clinics completed the survey. Most were public (73%) and urban/semi-urban (64%); 52% had >500 patients in care. On a 0-100 scale, clinics scored highest in self-care and support, 91% (63-100%); managing patient populations, 80% (72-81%) and improving performance, 72% (44-78%). Clinics scored lowest with the most variability in planning/managing care, 65% (22-89%), and access and continuity, 61% (33-80%). Average score across all domains was 72% (58-81%).

conclusionsOur findings suggest that the modified PCMH tool is feasible, and likely has sufficient performance variation to discriminate among clinics. Consistent with extant literature, clinics showed greatest room for improvement on access and continuity, supporting the tool's face validity. The modified PCMH tool may provide a powerful framework for evaluating chronic HIV care in RLS.
