Association between patient-reported social, behavioral, and health factors and emergency department visits in high-risk VA patients.
Article in Health services research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
RESEARCH
objectiveTo identify patient-reported social risk, behavioral, and health factors associated with emergency department (ED) utilization in high-risk Veterans Affairs (VA) patients. DATA SOURCES: Patient survey, VA, Medicare data. STUDY
designProspective cohort study using multivariable logistic regression to identify patient-reported factors associated with all-cause and ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related ED visits among VA patients at high risk for hospitalization or death. DATA EXTRACTION
methodsPatient-reported measures derived from a 2018 survey sent to 10,000 VA patients; clinical and demographic characteristics derived from VA data; ED visits derived from VA and Medicare claims. PRINCIPAL
findingsAmong 4680 survey respondents, 52.5% and 16.3% experienced an all-cause or ACSC-related ED visit in the following year, respectively. An ED visit was more likely among individuals with functional status limitations (6.0% points (Confidence Interval [CI] 0.017-0.103)) and transportation barriers (5.2% points [CI 0.005-0.099]). An ACSC-related ED visit was more likely among individuals with functional status limitations (3.2% points [CI 0.003-0.062]) and self-rated poorer health (7.4% points (CI 0.030-0.119) poor; 6.2% points (CI 0.029-0.096) fair; 4.1% points (CI 0.009-0.073) good; compared with excellent/very good).
conclusionsPatient-reported factors not present in most electronic health records were significantly associated with future ED visits in high-risk VA patients.
