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

Inspired by the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, an early version of the Swiss Atlas of Health Care (SAHC) was released in 2017. The SAHC provides an intuitive visualization of regional variations of medical care delivery and thus allows for a broad diffusion of the contents. That is why the SAHC became widely accepted amongst health care stakeholders. In 2021, the relaunch of the SAHC was initiated to update as well as significantly expand the scope of measures depicted on the platform, also integrating indicators for outpatient care in order to better reflect the linkages between inpatient and outpatient health care provision. In the course of this relaunch, the statistical and technical aspects of the SAHC have been reviewed and updated. This paper presents the key aspects of the relaunch project and provides helpful insights for similar endeavors elsewhere.
