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

In 2021, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey Health Center (NAMCS HC) Component modernized its data collection and began collecting clinical visit data from health centers using transmission of electronic health record (EHR) data. With this redesign, there are potential cost implications for a health center to participate. Beginning in 2021, a one-time set-up fee (i.e., payment) of up to $10,000 was offered to centers who participated in the NAMCS HC Component. Starting in 2022, a Set-up Fee Questionnaire was used to capture data on the use of this money. Results show on average the fee appeared adequate in covering participation costs, with the fee most often used to cover costs of health center and EHR vendor information technology staff. Although this fee was offered only during the initial year of participation, retention rates for centers appeared high. Implications from the findings of this case study on use of a set-up fee in establishment surveys are also briefly discussed.
