VA-Community Dual Care: Veteran and Clinician Perspectives.
Article in Journal of community health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Many veterans receive care in both community settings and the VA. Recent legislation has increased veteran access to community providers, raising concerns about safety and coordination. This project aimed to understand the benefits and challenges of dual care from the perceptions of both the Veterans their clinicians. We conducted surveys and focus groups of veterans who use both VA and community care in VT and NH. We also conducted a web-based survey and a focus group involving primary care clinicians from both settings. The main measures included (1) reasons that veterans seek care in both settings; (2) problems faced by veterans and clinicians; (3) association of health status and ease of managing care with sites of primary care; and (4) association of veteran rurality with dual care experiences. The primary reasons veterans reported for using both VA and community care were (1) for convenience, (2) to access needed services, and (3) to get a second opinion. Veterans reported that community and VA providers were informed about the others' care more than half the time. Veterans in isolated rural towns reported better overall health and ease of managing their care. VA and community primary care clinicians reported encountering systems problems with dual-care including communicating medication changes, sharing lab and imaging results, communicating with specialists, sharing discharge summaries and managing medication renewals. Both Veterans and their primary clinicians report substantial system issues in coordinating care between the VA and the community, raising the potential for significant patient safety and Veteran satisfaction concerns.
