Rising Trends in Emergency Department Visits Associated With Hepatitis C Virus Infection in the United States, 2006-2014.
Article in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveEmergency departments (EDs) are critical settings for hepatitis C care in the United States. We assessed trends and characteristics of hepatitis C-associated ED visits during 2006-2014.
methodsWe used data from the 2006-2014 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to estimate numbers, rates, and costs of hepatitis C-associated ED visits, defined by either first-listed diagnosis of hepatitis C or all-listed diagnosis of hepatitis C. We assessed trends by demographic characteristics, liver disease severity, and patients' disposition by using joinpoint analysis, and we calculated the average annual percentage change (AAPC) from 2006 to 2014.
resultsDuring 2006-2014, the rate per 100 000 visits of first-listed and all-listed hepatitis C-associated ED visits increased significantly from 10.1 to 25.4 (AAPC = 13.0%;
conclusionPublic health efforts are needed to address the growing burden of hepatitis C care in the ED.
