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

objectivesTo discover how much research doctors in our area do; to describe their attitudes to research; and to evaluate the hindrances to developing research that they found.

designCross-sectional, descriptive study.

settingArea 7 of Primary Care, Madrid.

participantsArea 7 doctors. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was designed in order to gather the following information: age, gender, professional details, training in research methodology, research activity, questions from a previously validated questionnaire for finding attitudes towards research (scores from 0 to 80), and a question for assigning a value to 6 hindrances to research.

results174 were returned (49.4% response). 65.9% of the doctors were women, with an average age of 43.23+/-7.33 years; and 55.5% were specialists in Family and Community Medicine. Over the last 5 years, 49.4% had published a scientific paper and 38% had given reports at congresses. The mean score on attitudes to research was 53.49+/-10.59. Hindrances to research were given in the following order, from greatest to least: case-load, lack of time, structural deficiencies, absence of multi-centred research lines, lack of incentives, lack of training, no motivation.

conclusionsThe research activity of our doctors is similar to that found in other studies. Attitude to research is no better than "acceptable." The main hindrances stated were: case-load and lack of time.
