General practitioners' perceptions of sharing workload in group practices: qualitative study.
Article in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo explore general practitioners' beliefs and experiences of distribution of workload and teamwork between doctors in general practice.
designQualitative semistructured interview study.
settingSouth London.
participants18 general practitioners from 11 practices.
main outcome measuresPerceptions and experiences of distribution of workload and teamwork between doctors.
resultsEquitable distribution of workload was a common concern among general practitioners in group practices. Several ways of addressing the problem were identified, including relying on trust, creating systems of working based on explicit rules such as points' systems, and improving communication. Improvement of communication was hampered by the taboo nature of the problem.
conclusionResentment about perceived inequalities in workload places a further burden on general practices. The issue of working together warrants further support.
