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

objectiveAgreement between administrative and survey data has been shown to vary by the condition of interest and there is limited research dedicated to parental report of asthma among children. The current study assesses the concordance between parent-reported asthma from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) with Medicaid administrative claims data among linkage eligible children from the NHIS.

methodsMedicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) files from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (years 2000-2005) were linked to participants of the NHIS (years 2001-2005). Concordance measures were calculated to assess overall agreement between a claims-based asthma diagnosis and a survey-based asthma diagnosis. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the association between demographic, service utilization, and co-occurring conditions factors and agreement.

resultsPercent agreement between the two data sources was high (90%) with a prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa of 0.80 and Cohen's kappa of 0.55. Agreement varied by demographic characteristics, service utilization characteristics, and the presence of allergies and other health conditions. Structural equation modeling results found the presence of a series of co-occurring conditions, namely allergies, resulted in significantly lower agreement after controlling for demographics and service utilization.

conclusionsThere was general agreement between asthma diagnoses reported in the NHIS when compared to medical claims. Discordance was greatest among children with co-occurring conditions.
