Pediatric publications in family medicine journals: quantity and content.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 investigate the number and content of articles on pediatric medicine in family medicine journals.
designComputerized survey in PubMed of the abstracts of all papers published between 2000 and 2002 in four family medicine journals. Abstracts were classified as research or nonresearch. Papers dealing with pediatric medicine were further categorized by main subject area.
settingTwo North American family medicine journals and two British family medicine journals.
main outcome measuresNumber and content of abstracts in family medicine journals: research or not research, describing children only or including adults.
resultsOf 1199 abstracts reviewed, 947 (79%) were from research articles and 252 (21%) from nonresearch articles. Of the research abstracts, 73 (7.7%) related to pediatric problems, and 28 (3%) related to both pediatric and adult problems. Of the nonresearch abstracts, 22 (8.7%) involved pediatric patients and 7 (2.8%) combined pediatric and adult populations. In all, nearly 11% of the articles related to pediatric issues. The most common subjects were infectious disease (26%), adolescent medicine (15%), organization of medical care (12%), and asthma (12%).
conclusionAlthough pediatric care is an essential part of family practice, the percentage of papers on pediatric medicine in family medicine journals is small. We propose that more papers related to pediatric issues be submitted to family medicine journals, which serve as the main source of medical information for family physicians.
