Patient Satisfaction and Costs of Multidisciplinary Models of Care in Rheumatology: a Review of the Recent Literature.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of the reviewA number of novel models of care utilizing allied healthcare professionals, including nurses and pharmacists, have emerged as an alternate to rheumatologist specialist care to achieve disease outcomes in patients with inflammatory arthritis. We conducted a review of the literature for studies from the past 5 years that reported on measures of patient satisfaction and/or any health economic outcome in a model of care where the care providers had substantial, but not completely independent, responsibility. RECENT
findingsPrevious reviews have summarized the available evidence for collaborative models of care led by nurses (only), which demonstrate that patients with inflammatory arthritis achieve similar disease outcomes and feel well supported with their person-centered care. Patients are generally highly satisfied with the care provided in collaborative care models, in line with if not greater than that provided by rheumatologists. However, we identified substantial variability in direct costs and/or overall intervention costs and measures of health-related quality of life across the various countries and healthcare systems. Overall, nursing-led interventions likely cost more than do physician-led models of care in the short-term but may lead to greater quality of life, as demonstrated with a disease-specific measure.
