The role of UK general practitioners with special clinical interests: implications for policy and service delivery.

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
The development of specialist clinical interests by general practitioners (GPs) is currently receiving considerable attention in the United Kingdom. Although GPs have long been able to pursue such interests, it is only in recent years that they have taken on within primary care what were previously secondary care tasks, provided such services for patients outside their own practices, and received payment for them. The expansion of such services has been highlighted as a target in the NHS plan for England. Managerial and professional guidance is becoming available that seeks to clarify the role and nature of specialisation within general practice, to learn from the experiences of individuals who have embarked on specialist practice, and suggests procedures for future developments. Drawing on a range of sources, this paper builds on that burgeoning knowledge by setting the development of GPs with special interests in a broader policy context, highlighting the implications for the way that healthcare services are organised and delivered, and discussing their actual and potential impact of professional roles and practice.
