Healthcare Costs and Resource Use of Patients with Dupuytren Contracture Treated with Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum or Fasciectomy: A Propensity Matching Analysis.
Article in ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
objectiveStudies examining differences in US healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and associated healthcare costs between collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) and fasciectomy for Dupuytren contracture (DC) are limited. This study evaluated US HCRU and direct healthcare cost for the treatment of DC in privately insured patients using insurance claims.
methodsThis retrospective observational cohort study analyzed data from large nationwide insurance claims databases; it included individuals diagnosed with DC between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2017, who were adults at index date (date of first treatment: CCH or fasciectomy). Participants had continuous health plan coverage 24 months pre-index and 12 months post-index date. All-cause and DC-related HCRU and healthcare costs from the payers' perspective were compared between propensity score-matched cohorts. Generalized linear models assessed factors associated with all-cause total healthcare costs.
resultsOf 83,983 patients diagnosed with DC, 1932 adults receiving fasciectomy and 953 adults receiving CCH were included. The mean ± standard deviation total all-cause healthcare cost was significantly lower with CCH than with fasciectomy (US$11,897 ± US$14,633 versus US$15,528 ± US$22,254, respectively;
conclusionBased on matched cohort data, adjusted 1-year healthcare costs for CCH-treated individuals were significantly lower compared with costs for fasciectomy-treated individuals.
