Surgical outreach clinics in Canada: one neurosurgeon's experience.
Article in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 this short paper, I present my 3-year experience, from January 2000 to September 2002, with a neurosurgery consultation outreach clinic in Huntsville, Ont. I describe the logistics, advantages, disadvantages and implications for surgeons of outreach clinics and their patients. The clinic was highly successful for the area physicians and the patients, but was discontinued in September 2002 owing to restrictions on my time available for the clinic. New surgical outreach clinics should be carefully planned. The specialist surgeon must have adequate flexibility and time for this activity and the success of the clinic must be assessed regularly.
