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

introductionProviding health care to patients at home could be causing the mortality and readmission rates reduction in addition to satisfaction of both patients and health care providers increase. The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of home care service compared to hospital based care in patients with diabetic foot ulcer.

methodsAn economic evaluation study and a trial study were simultaneously conducted in Iran. In trial phase, patients with diabetic foot ulcer were randomly assigned to the home care or hospital care. The Cost and Quality of life data were determined as measures of the study. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was calculated for comparative purposes. The model consisted of five stages of the disease. The Tree Age Pro 2009 and R software's were used for data analysis.

results120 patients were enrolled in our trial; among which 30 patients were in home care service group and 90 patients in hospital based care group. The rate of ulcer size reduction in hospital based care was significant (

conclusionsRegarding current evidence, home care strategy for patients suffering diabetic foot ulcer enjoys more cost effectiveness compared to hospital care. It is suggested that healthcare policy makers determine the tariff for health care services for disease groups according to the activity based costing approach.
