Progressive supranuclear palsy's economical burden: the use and costs of healthcare resources in a large health provider in Israel.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundProgressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder with no disease modifying therapy currently available. Data on the costs associated with PSP are scarce. This study aims to assess the direct medical expenditure of patients with PSP (PwPSP) throughout disease course.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study is based on the data of a large state-mandated health provider in Israel. We identified PwPSP who were initially diagnosed between 2000 and 2017. Each PwPSP was randomly matched to three health-plan members without PSP by birth-year, sex, and socioeconomic status. Healthcare resources' utilization and related costs were assessed.
resultsWe identified 88 eligible PwPSP and 264 people in the reference group; mean age at diagnosis was 72.6 years (SD = 8.4) and 53.4% were female. The annual direct costs of PwPSP have risen over time, reaching US$ 21,637 in the fifth year and US$ 36,693 in the tenth year of follow-up vs US$ 8910 in the year prior diagnosis. Compared to people without PSP, PwPSP had substantially higher medical expenditure during the years prior- and post-index date.
conclusionThe present study demonstrates higher economic burden, which increases with time, in PwPSP as compared to those without.
