The objective assessment of general practitioners' educational needs: an under-researched area?
Synthesis 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 9 papers.
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
A systematic literature review of the educational needs assessment of general practitioners (GPs) is described. A total of 36 studies, based on the subject of educational needs in primary care, were identified. The methods of searching and the difficulties in identifying papers on the chosen subject are discussed. Although there is an extensive literature on the reporting of the perception of GPs' learning needs, there have been relatively few studies describing their objective evaluation. Seventeen papers on this subject are described, and it was found that questionnaires and structured interviews were the most usual method adopted. There is a case for developing and evaluating a wider range of methods for assessing educational needs in primary care, particularly if the move towards portfolio-based learning is to gain momentum.
