Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo determine how a cohort of family practice residents graduating between 1990 and 1997 was serving the needs of urban populations in British Columbia.
designSurvey using mailed questionnaire.
settingBritish Columbia.
participantsAll graduates of the British Columbia family practice residency program between 1990 and 1997.
main outcome measuresGraduates who were currently practising as family physicians and providing medical care to urban and inner-city populations of more than 100 000, sex, practice profiles, and a comparison with Janus Project data for British Columbia.
resultsOf 287 graduates surveyed, 206 responded (71.8%). Less than half (86) identified themselves as practising in urban settings; 61 of those were practising as family physicians. These physicians offered a range of primary care services; many offered inpatient and obstetric care. In addition, many were offering care to disadvantaged inner-city populations with unique and challenging medical problems.
conclusionRecent graduates in family medicine practising in urban and inner-city areas are offering full-service primary care and are not abandoning it for more episodic high-volume medical practice.
