[Definition and validation of quality indicators of prescription in primary care].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 define and validate a battery of prescription indicators on the use of anti-hypertensives, lipid-lowerers, diabetes drugs, and insulin, as measurements of family doctors' quality of prescription in primary health care.
designTransversal, descriptive study.
settingTwo primary care health districts, Camas and Sierra Norte, Spain.
participantsEighty three family doctors, 94.32% of the doctors in the study area. DEFINITION AND VALIDATION OF INDICATORS: To construct the prescription indicators, we used evidence found in the scientific bibliography available. To validate it, we analysed its statistical relationship with a series of selected clinical tests, collected from the clinical records.
resultsFor each doctor, there was a statistically significant relationship between the index of quality of prescription and the clinical quality seen in the records (P=.004). The variables of age, sex, and training fine-tuned the model.
conclusionsThere is a statistically significant relationship between a good prescription indicator and proper control of intermediate health variables.
