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

This paper introduces an evaluation of community-based, integrated health and social care multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs), primarily serving older people with long-term conditions, undertaken as part of the wider evaluation (2015-2022) of the Integrated Care and Support Pioneer Programme in England (2013-2018). To explain the context within which the MDT evaluation was undertaken, we first outline a brief history of health and social care integration policy in England, describe the Pioneer Programme and the requirements of the national 'longer-term' evaluation of the Pioneers. We then explain our rationale for focusing on MDTs, describe our conceptual framework of MDT functioning and provide a brief description of the evaluation design and methods, highlighting four overarching challenges we faced in undertaking it. We then briefly describe the individual papers that constitute the current supplement.
