[Detection and handling of alcohol problems in primary care in Catalonia].
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 6 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 gain information on how well strategies for alcohol problem detection and interventions are being implemented in primary care in Catalonia, Spain.
designLongitudinal pre/post study to evaluate the impact of the distribution to primary care professionals of a training programme for detecting alcohol problems and intervening in them. Descriptive analysis of the basic situation, using interviews with patients and professionals and examination of clinical histories (CH).
settingHealth districts that existed in Catalonia in 2001.
participantsTwenty eight health districts, 973 patients, 80 professionals, and 852 clinical histories examined. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Data were collected, by means of questionnaires for professionals and patients and of ad-hoc instruments for examining clinical histories, on the levels of primary care screening for alcohol consumption and of intervention.
resultsThere was a major disparity in the data between the 3 sources. Thus the screening of consumption and counselling was recorded much less in the CHs than amounts that patients said they received and that professionals said they performed. In addition, most of the at-risk drinkers that were seen in PC were not detected. On comparing them with non-risk drinkers we found significant differences in sex, job, familiarity with the centre and having been asked or not about their alcohol consumption.
conclusionsGiven the deficiencies found in PC preventive activity on alcohol consumption and as alcohol consumption has such huge social and health repercussions on the general population, we think it is fully justified to introduce into PC specific training programmes on screening and brief intervention techniques for alcohol problems.
