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

backgroundPatient non-attendance at pediatric ambulatory visits disrupts clinic workflow and limits access to care, causing financial losses for the healthcare system.

methodsA cross-section of 487 patients scheduled from January 2023 to July 2023, 4 years of age or less, were analyzed for descriptive patient demographics and the first scheduled appointment during the study window. The univariate analysis compared groups of attendance and non-attendance with multivariate logistic regression examining relationships between variables of interest.

resultsThe overall missed opportunities rate was 30.2% (n = 147). Lead time, marginalized populations, use of prescription medications, and previous non-attendance were independent determinants of non-attendance using a multivariate logistic model. DISCUSSION: The primary modifiable driver of patient non-attendance was appointment lead time. Several non-modifiable determinants of non-attendance could provide focus areas for targeted interventions from missed opportunity appointments. Reducing non-attendance should focus on improving access to care for vulnerable pediatric patients from under-resourced communities.
