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

objectiveTo characterize challenges and strategies related to algorithmic risk scoring for care management eligibility determinations. MATERIALS AND

methodsInterviews with 19 administrators from 13 physician organizations representing over 2200 physician offices and 8800 physicians in Michigan. Post-implementation interviews were coded using thematic analysis.

resultsUtility of algorithmic risk scores was limited due to outdated claims or incomplete information about patients' socially situated risks (eg, caregiver turnover, social isolation). Resulting challenges included lack of physician engagement and inefficient use of staff time reviewing eligibility determinations. To address these challenges, risk scores were supplemented with physician knowledge and clinical data. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionCurrent approaches to risk scoring based on claims data for payer-led programs struggle to gain physician acceptance and support because of data limitations. To respond to these limitations, physician input regarding socially situated risk and utilization of more timely data may improve eligibility determinations.
