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

A questionnaire was sent to all practice managers in Wessex in June 1997 to assess to what extent practices had stopped relying on paper records in the consultation. Practices that solely used computer records in the consultation ('noteless') did not necessarily consider themselves 'paperless'. Following a recent declaration that all practices should be using an Electronic Health Record by March 2005, the obstacles to this move were investigated and some differences in the way the 'noteless' and 'paperless' groups used computers were identified.
