[Analysis of the relationship between primary care doctors and the pharmaceutical industry].
Article in Atencion primaria, 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
objectivesTo describe the type of relationship between primary care family doctors (PCDs) and the pharmaceutical industry (PI) and its representatives in Aragon, to describe doctors' attitudes to this relationship and to find out how doctors behave towards offers from the industry.
designDescriptive cross-sectional study, through a self-filled questionnaire with closed replies, of a representative sample of the population under study. SETTING AND
participantsFamily doctors working in primary care teams throughout Aragon.
resultsThe reply rate of 28.17% maintained the study's representativity. Differences in the kind of relationship between PCDs and PI were found in gender (greater relationship of male doctors) and setting (it was greater in urban areas). Doctors working in centres with teaching credentials and woman doctors had a more critical attitude. The tendency to collaborate with the industry's offers was greater in the rural areas and among men. The group of doctors that interacted most with the industry tended to collaborate more with the proposals of the PI. No relationship was found between attitude and conduct of PCDs.
conclusionsResults confirm both the starting hypotheses: a) the nature of relationships between PCDs and the PI and its representatives affects prescribing behaviour, and b) there are differences between what doctors think they should do and what they really do in their dealings with the PI.
