Trajectories of Outpatient Service Utilisation of Hypertensive Patients in Tertiary Hospitals in China.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study aims to identify the characteristics and trajectories of outpatient service utilisation for hypertensive patients in tertiary hospitals. This study also attempts to investigate the determinants of the trajectories of outpatient service utilisation. A total of 9822 patients with hypertension and hypertension-related medical utilisation were recruited in Yichang, China from January 1 to December 31 in 2016. The latent trajectories of outpatient service utilisation were identified through latent class growth analysis. Differences in the demographic characteristics and medical utilisation among patients in different trajectories were tested by one-way ANOVA and chi-square analysis. The predictors of the trajectory groups of outpatient service utilisation were identified through multinomial logistic regression. Four trajectory groups were determined as stable-low (34.7%), low-fluctuating (13.4%), high-fluctuating (22.5%), and stable-high (29.4%). Significant differences were observed in all demographic characteristics (
