Hierarchical Condition Categories for Pulmonary Diseases: Population Health Management and Policy Opportunities.
Review in Chest, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hierarchical condition categories (HCCs) are groups of diagnostic codes that are used to adjust federal payments to insurers and health systems based on differences in expected spending. Risk models built on HCCs improve on previous adjustment strategies that used demographic characteristics but did not include clinical diagnoses. Thus, accurate coding by clinicians of inpatient and outpatient encounters ensures capitated payments and reimbursements that are commensurate with predicted expenditures. Pulmonary diseases and various forms of critical illness play a significant role in this risk adjustment process both through their associated HCC codes and through interactions with other risk categories representing cardiac and psychiatric diseases. Ongoing uncertainty in federal health policy ensures a changing role for HCCs and risk-adjusted reimbursements across a variety of payment models and federal programs.
