Factors associated with the provision of anti-smoking advice by general practitioners.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The acceptability of advice about smoking in the consultation has recently been questioned. We report a study that explored patients' attitudes to general practitioners' (GPs) anti-smoking advice and the characteristics of patients with whom GPs chose to discuss smoking. Patients who recalled the advice were generally positive about stopping smoking. This could be explained by the observation that GPs were more likely to advise smokers who perceived their problems to be smoking-related and were more motivated to stop smoking. The implications of this finding are discussed.
