1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

General practice has faced a tremendous workload challenge in meeting the National Service Framework targets. For the first time, the new General Medical Services (GMS) contract links practice remuneration to diagnosis and management of chronic diseases; in particular, it offers practices a significant financial incentive to undertake management of cardiovascular disease. However, in order to undertake the work and meet the targets, particularly those relating to management of blood pressure, serum lipids, and glucose, primary care teams will have to approach cardiovascular disease in a highly systematic manner. Much of the work is likely to fall upon practice nurses. While many in primary care have been reluctant in the past to invest in future health gain, the new GMS contract offers a good opportunity to change that way of thinking.
