Multimorbidity patterns and their associations with patient-perceived treatment burden: A latent class analysis of 14,344 Danish adults.
Article in Journal of multimorbidity and comorbidity. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: To identify population groups with distinct multimorbidity patterns and to examine their associations with high treatment burden. Methods: Latent class analysis was conducted using cross-sectional, self-reported data on 16 long-term conditions from Danish adults aged 25 years and older in treatment (N = 14,344), drawn from the Danish National Health Survey. Treatment burden was assessed using the Multimorbidity Treatment Burden Questionnaire, and associations between identified multimorbidity patterns and high treatment burden (score ≥22) were examined using a bias-adjusted three-step approach. Results: Eight latent classes were identified: 1 Conclusion: Specific multimorbidity patterns were strongly associated with high treatment burden. These findings may inform healthcare planning, resource allocation, and tailored interventions to reduce treatment burden.
