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

In the course of the consultation in primary care, the general practitioner integrates knowledge of different types that are drawn from different sources. As a consequence of the way practitioners develop expertise, this use of knowledge is often hidden from the conscious mind of the practitioner and often hidden from direct observation. On the other hand, understanding of this use of knowledge is crucial to several necessary developments of the profession of general practice. A method involving collaboration between researcher and practitioner sheds new light on this knowledge-in-use.
