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

In the cardiological care of outpatients in Germany, selective contracts have been established in in addition to the usual representation in the collective system, i.e., in the system of the associations of statutory health insurance physicians (Kassenärztliche Vereinigungen, KV). One example is the KardioExpert (Cardioexpert) contract between the Professional Association of Cardiologists in Private Practice (BNK) and the Barmer Ersatzkasse and Ford Betriebskrankenkasse (BKK). This supplementary contract extends regular outpatient care for patients with heart failure; more than 20,000 patients are now included nationwide. Another example is a full care contract in accordance with § 73c or § 140a of Book V of the German Social Code (SGBV), which in Baden-Württemberg regulates all cardiological care for participating patients as an alternative to the collective contract. The cardiology contract according to § 73c, which has been in place in Baden-Württemberg since 2010, was scientifically evaluated and was able to show a 24% reduction in mortality within 1 year and a 16% reduction in the hospitalization rate for patients with heart failure. Furthermore, overall health care costs were reduced in the intervention group. At the same time, participating physicians also benefit through non-budgeted reimbursement, which is approximately 15-20% above KV levels. The Cardioexpert contract also shows similar data and benefits. Overall, these cardiology contracts show in a model way that better care can be implemented more cost-effectively and with a win-win situation for all sides. Nationwide expansion, especially of the full care contracts, has so far failed due to the reluctance of the cost bearers. A start could be made here with legal regulations, such as the obligation of health insurance companies to enter into such contracts.
