Preventive care checklist form. Evidence-based tool to improve preventive health care during complete health assessment of adults.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
15 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 36 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
problem addressedPreventive care is a cornerstone in the practice of family medicine, but is often difficult to provide because of a lack of time and logistic difficulties. OBJECTIVE OF PROGRAM: To develop an evidence-based practice-relevant preventive care checklist form to be used by family physicians during complete health assessment of adults. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Guidelines for preventive health care of adults at average risk from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care and from other Canadian sources where the Task Force guidelines were not up-to-date were reviewed. Checklist forms covering recommended preventive health care maneuvers were created. The forms incorporate evidence-based preventive care guidelines as well as non-evidence-based components that are a part of routine practice. The forms require few resources to implement, are cost-effective, and are easy to use. The forms list items needed to meet provincial billing requirements for complete health assessments and have space for physicians to make notes. The forms can be used electronically or printed off and photocopied for use in paper-based charts.
conclusionThe Preventive Care Checklist Form is a low-cost, easy-to-use tool that merges practice maneuvers with evidence-based recommendations. It could help improve preventive care practices in Canada.
