The Different Classification of Hospitals Impact on Medical Outcomes of Patients in China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: In China, different classification of hospitals (COH) provide treatment for patients with different degrees of illness. COH play an important role in Chinese medical outcomes, but there is a lack of quantitative description of how much impact the results have. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between COH on medical outcomes with the hope of providing insights into appropriate care and resource allocation. Methods: From the perspective of the COH framework, using the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) data of Chengdu City from 2011 to 2015, with a sample size of 512,658 hospitalized patients, this study used the nested multinomial logit model (NMNL) to estimate the impact of COH on the medical outcomes. Results: The patients were mainly elderly, with an average age of 66.28 years old. The average length of stay was 9.61 days. The female and male gender were split evenly. A high level of hospitals is positively and significantly associated with the death and transfer rates ( Conclusion: The COH made a difference in the medical outcomes significantly. COH should be reasonably selected according to disease types to achieve the optimal medical outcome. So, China should promote the construction of a tiered delivery system.
