Relationship between continuity of care and clinical outcomes in patients with dyslipidemia in Korea: a real world claims database study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and requires proactive management. This study aimed to investigate the association between care continuity and the outcomes of patients with dyslipidemia. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients with dyslipidemia by employing the Korea National Health Insurance claims database during the period 2007-2018. The Continuity of Care Index (COCI) was used to measure continuity of care. We considered incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as a primary outcome. A Cox's proportional hazards regression model was used to quantify risks of primary outcome. There were 236,486 patients newly diagnosed with dyslipidemia in 2008 who were categorized into the high and low COC groups depending on their COCI. The adjusted hazard ratio for the primary outcome was 1.09 times higher (95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.12) in the low COC group than in the high COC group. The study shows that improved continuity of care for newly-diagnosed dyslipidemic patients might reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
