Differences among hepatitis C patients seen in community and specialist outpatient care settings.
Article in Canadian liver journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the province of New Brunswick, care for patients infected with hepatitis C is provided in both community-based care settings and specialist-based care settings, but little is known about the differences between these populations. The aim of the current study is to characterize the demographic, socioeconomic, mental health and substance use factors of patients seen in these settings. Methods: Enrolling sites for this study included four specialist office-based clinics and one community-based clinic in three communities in New Brunswick. Personal health data was collected with informed consent via questionnaires and medical records. Non-incarcerated patients seen between April 2014 and April 2016 were included in the analysis. Results: A total of 374 patients were included (34.8% community versus 65.2% specialist office). Patients seen in the community care setting were younger (median age 43.7 versus 49.1 years), less likely to have a primary care provider ( Conclusions: Unique differences exist between patients seen in community and specialist care settings in New Brunswick. Understanding these differences is an essential first step in developing patient-centred care models.
