Effect of motivated physicians and elderly patients with hypertension or type 2 diabetes mellitus in prepared communities on health behaviours and outcomes: A population-based PS matched retrospective cohort study during five-year follow-up period.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
Effective chronic disease management requires the active participation of patients, communities, and physicians. The objective of this study was to estimate the effectiveness of the Community-based Registration and Management for elderly patients with Hypertension or Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Project (CRMHDP) by using motivated primary care physicians and patients supported by prepared communities, to utilise healthcare and health outcomes in four cities in South Korea. We conducted a propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study using 2010-2011 as the baseline years, alongside a follow-up period until 2015/2016, based on the Korean National Health Insurance database. Both a CRMHDP group (n = 46,865) and a control group (n = 93,730) were applied against healthcare utilisation and difference-in-differences estimations were performed. For the health outcome analysis, the intervention group (n = 27,242) and control group (n = 54,484) were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression. Results: The difference-in-differences estimation of the average annual clinic visits per person and the average annual days covered were 1.26 (95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.39) and 22.97 (95% CI, 20.91-25.03), respectively, between the intervention and control groups. The adjusted hazard ratio for death in the intervention group, compared to the control group, was 0.90 (95% CI, 0.86-0.93). For stroke and chronic renal failure, the adjusted hazard ratios for the intervention group compared to the control group were 0.94 (95% CI, 0.88-0.99) and 0.80 (95% CI 0.73-0.89), respectively. Our study suggests that for effective chronic disease management both elderly patients and physicians need to be motivated by community support.
