Tensions between policy makers and general practitioners in implementing new genetics: grounded theory interview study.
Review in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
objectiveTo explore general practitioners' perceptions of their role in implementing genetic technology.
designGrounded theory interview study.
settingPrimary care. SUBJECTS: Purposive sample of 30 general practitioners with a further theoretical sample of 14.
resultsInconsistencies were identified between policy makers' and general practitioners' definitions of general practitioners' role in implementing the new genetics. General practitioners emphasised the need to build on current practice, whereas policy makers focused on transforming practice to include the new specialised roles and skills. Two core themes were identified: genetics in a generalist context, which included appropriate generalist intervention, the ethical dilemmas implicit in the "therapeutic gap," the familial-hereditary distinction in primary care, and the implications for generalist identity, including the potential marginalisation of generalism.
conclusionNew technologies such as genetics that require implementation in general practice should be integrated within existing generalist frameworks.
