Regional Practice Patterns and Racial/Ethnic Differences in Intensity of End-of-Life Care.
Article in Health services research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo examine whether regional practice patterns impact racial/ethnic differences in intensity of end-of-life care for cancer decedents. DATA SOURCES: The linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database. STUDY
designWe classified hospital referral regions (HRRs) based on mean 6-month end-of-life care expenditures, which represented regional practice patterns. Using hierarchical generalized linear models, we examined racial/ethnic differences in the intensity of end-of-life care across levels of HRR expenditures. PRINCIPAL
findingsThere was greater variation in intensity of end-of-life care among Hispanics, Asians, and whites in high-expenditure HRRs than in low-expenditure HRRs.
conclusionsLocal practice patterns may influence racial/ethnic differences in end-of-life care.
