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

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate whether the type of insurance coverage is associated with missed appointments and to evaluate the effect of missed appointments on diabetes control. Methods: All patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) managed at a major academic medical center between Jan 2015 and Dec 2020 were included in analysis. Association between insurance coverage and the proportion of missed appointments was evaluated with adjustments for demographic variables and social determinants of health. The relationship between proportion of missed appointments and glycemic control was also evaluated. Results: The dataset included 30,633 patients, out of which 14,064 (46%) reported commercial insurance, 13,376 (44%) reported Medicare and 3,193 (10%) reported Medicaid coverage. Proportion of missed appointments was 18.1 ± 18.1% among Medicaid covered patients,12.1 ± 15.3% among commercially insured and 10.2 ± 14.1% among Medicare covered patients ( Conclusions: Medicaid covered patients with diabetes have higher proportion of missed clinic appointments and higher HbA1c. More research is needed to evaluate the root causes of inability to keep appointments in this population so that strategies for improved healthcare delivery can be designed.
