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

backgroundQuality measures (QMs) exist to operationalize guidelines by measuring adherence to guidelines through documentation, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes. Studies are rare looking at the relationship between adherence to Parkinson disease (PD) QMs and patient outcomes.

methodsWe assessed adherence of our movement disorders specialists (MDSs) to the American Academy of Neurology's 2010 PD QM set through chart review using the measure set work group's criteria of documentation. We then evaluated patient outcomes to see whether there was a correlation with adherence to these QMs.

resultsNinety-seven consecutive patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean disease duration was 9.3 (5.8) years. All patients were assessed by 1 of 4 MDSs. A total of 68% of QMs were documented across all patients. There was a small positive correlation between the number of documented QMs the year before the index visit and the number of calls/emails both the year before and after the index visit (r = 0.20,

conclusionsWe found no clinically important improvement in patient outcomes with higher adherence levels. It is important that QM developers validate QMs to ensure that they fulfill the intended goal of improved patient outcomes.
