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

aimThis study aims to identify the hospitalised morbidity associated with three common chronic health conditions among young people using a population-based matched cohort.

methodsA population-level matched case-comparison retrospective cohort study of young people aged ≤18 years hospitalised with asthma, type 1 diabetes (T1D) or epilepsy during 2005-2018 in New South Wales, Australia using linked birth, health and mortality records. The comparison cohort was matched on age, sex and residential postcode. Adjusted rate ratios (ARR) were calculated by sex and age group.

resultsThere were 65 055 young people hospitalised with asthma, 6648 with epilepsy, and 2209 with T1D. Young people with epilepsy (ARR 10.95; 95% confidence interval (CI) 9.98-12.02), T1D (ARR 8.64; 95% CI 7.72-9.67) or asthma (ARR 4.39; 95% CI 4.26-4.53) all had a higher risk of hospitalisation than matched peers. Admission risk was highest for males (ARR 11.00; 95% CI 9.64-12.56) and females with epilepsy (ARR 10.83; 95% CI 9.54-12.29) compared to peers. The highest admission risk by age group was for young people aged 10-14 years (ARR 5.50; 95% CI 4.77-6.34) living with asthma, children aged ≤4 years (ARR 12.68; 95% CI 11.35-14.17) for those living with epilepsy, and children aged 5-9 years (ARR 9.12; 95% CI 7.69-10.81) for those living with T1D compared to peers.

conclusionsThe results will guide health service planning and highlight opportunities for better management of chronic health conditions, such as further care integration between acute, primary and community health services for young people.
