Hospitalizations Associated With Rheumatic Disease in Alaska, 2015-2018.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveFew studies have evaluated hospitalizations associated with rheumatic disease in Indigenous North American populations. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of people hospitalized with rheumatic disease in Alaska, including a comparison of hospitalizations for Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI) people in Alaska compared with those of other races.
methodsWe used statewide hospital discharge data from the Alaska Health Facilities Data Reporting Program from 2015 to 2018 for this study. Cases were ascertained based on discharge diagnosis (any listed) of a defined set of rheumatic diseases. We determined characteristics associated with rheumatic disease hospitalizations, including age, gender, and race. Using multivariate modeling, we determined risk factors for hospitalization overall, as well as for specific rheumatic diseases. We compared characteristics of hospital encounters for people with or without rheumatic diseases and by race.
resultsWe identified 15975 people ever hospitalized with rheumatic disease in the study period and 87138 controls hospitalized but without any rheumatic disease diagnosis. Cases were older than controls and more likely to be female. The three most common types of rheumatic disease associated with hospitalization were osteoarthritis, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis. Compared with other races, AN/AI people were more likely to be hospitalized with rheumatic disease, and this association was true for all specific diseases other than gout.
conclusionHospitalizations associated with rheumatic disease are common in Alaska, with an increased likelihood of hospitalization for AN/AI people. This adds to the literature on health disparities in Indigenous North American populations.
