Practice organization before and after the new contract: a survey of general practices in Sheffield.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In order to assess the effects of the new contract on practice organization, all general practices in Sheffield were surveyed just before the new contract came into effect in April 1990, and again one year later. Of the 120 practices, 57% responded in 1990 and 61% in 1991, with 47% responding in both years. There were significant increases in the mean number of clinics and employed staff for the practices responding to both questionnaires and in the proportion of these practices which had a computer. These changes represent a response to the incentives and stated aims of the new contract.
