Organisation of paediatric primary care and access to emergency room: an observational study in Italy.
Observational study in BMJ paediatrics open, 2025. 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
Ease of access to primary care may be inversely related to non-emergency access to emergency room services (ERS). We assessed whether patients of general paediatricians working in networks have reduced the use of ERS in an Italian province. In 9 months, overall rates of visits and repeated ER visits were numerically higher for patients of solo paediatricians than for those of paediatricians working in networks. However, in our sample, the reduction of the corresponding adjusted risks was not statistically significant most of the time. Further research should assess whether organisational factors are associated with the risk of using ERS inappropriately.
