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

objectiveTo determine the effect of physician reporting laws and state licensing requirements on crash hospitalizations among drivers with dementia.

methodsA study of drivers hospitalized because of vehicle crashes, identified from the State Inpatient Databases of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the effect of mandatory physician reporting of at-risk drivers and state licensing requirement on the prevalence of dementia among hospitalized drivers.

resultsPhysician reporting laws, mandated or legally protected, were not associated with a lower likelihood of dementia among crash hospitalized drivers. Hospitalized drivers aged 60 to 69 years in states with in-person renewal laws were 37% to 38% less likely to have dementia than drivers in other states and 23% to 28% less likely in states with vision testing at in-person renewal. Road testing was associated with lower dementia prevalence among hospitalized drivers aged 80 years and older.

conclusionVision testing at in-person renewal and in-person renewal requirements were significantly related with a lower prevalence of dementia in hospitalized older adults among drivers aged 60 to 69 years. Road testing was significantly associated with a lower proportion of dementia among hospitalized drivers aged 80 years and older. Mandatory physician driver reporting laws lacked any independent association with prevalence of dementia among hospitalized drivers.
