Impact of Shared Plans of Care on Healthcare Utilization by Children with Special Healthcare Needs and Mental Health Diagnoses.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesWe assessed how shared plans of care (SPoC), a care coordination tool, impact healthcare utilization of a cohort of children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) and mental health conditions.
methodsData, including emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and primary care visits, were collected through chart review of CSHCN. A Poisson generalized linear mixed model was used to analyze healthcare utilization data for CSHCN.
resultsOur results showed a decrease in primary care visits, hospitalizations, and ED visits for CSHCN after SPoC implementation, though only primary care visits reached significance. Mental health care visits were specifically found to decrease by 39% following employment of SPoC. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: The use of SPoCs in CSHCN had a positive impact on healthcare utilization suggesting widespread use of this tool improved care coordination in this population.
