Standardised monitoring of patients on long-term medication in primary care.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 three-year pilot study was initiated in collaboration with three general practices to develop a standardised monitoting (SM) system to ensure that chronically sick patients on long-term medication, such as thyroxine, diuretics angiotensin convening enzyme (ACE) inhibitors statins and antirheumatics were reliabily monitored following fixed protocols. A high standard of care was achieved, which included identifying and following up patients with borderline or unacceptable results and persistent non-attendees. In addition, the scheme guaranteed that a current set of results was provided in time for clinical review.
