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

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (SSP ACOs), along with other factors, on diabetes-related hospitalization rates for rural older adults. Using an early year of the SSP ACO program, we conducted multiple linear regressions to examine the effect of ACO participation on African American and white older adults. In neither model was ACO affiliation found to have a statistically significant impact on diabetes-related hospitalization rates. This study provides baseline measures for patient outcomes during the initial years of ACO formation.
