Case Management Programs for Improving Integrated Care for Frequent Users of Healthcare Services: An Implementation Analysis.
Article in International journal of integrated care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionCase management programs (CMP) for frequent users of healthcare services presenting complex healthcare needs constitute an effective strategy to improve patient experience of integrated care and to decrease healthcare overuse and cost. This study sought to identify characteristics of these programs, and their implementation contexts, that help to improve patient self-management, experience of integrated care, and healthcare services use.
methodsA mixed methods multiple embedded case study design was conducted, with six CMP implemented in six hospitals of a region of Quebec (Canada).
resultsWithin-case analysis describes the structural, environmental, organizational, practitioner, patient, and innovation level characteristics of each CMP and their services integration outcomes based on patient experience, self-management and healthcare services use. Cross-case analysis suggests that the skills, leadership and experience of the case manager, providers' access to the individualized services plan, consideration of the needs of the patient and family members, their participation in decision-making, and the self-management approach, impact integrated care and healthcare services use. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: This study underscores the necessity of an experienced, knowledgeable and well-trained case manager with interpersonal skills to optimize CMP implementation such that patients are more proactive in their care and their outcomes improve.
