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

'Benchmarking' clinical practice and integrating such data with national guidelines offers a way of establishing standards for use in clinical governance. We report on a feasibility project for benchmarking clinical practice in one topic area (otitis media) using simulated clinical scenarios. Consistency and variations in clinical management were identified for different scenarios. Participants perceived the process likely to reflect actual practice and effect change in clinical management.
