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

Drug replacement therapy using synthetic opioids is in Vienna mostly carried out by primary care physicians. Group teaching in quality assurance groups has been installed in order to give these doctors the necessary personal and informational assistance. Evaluation has shown that: 1. 90% of the doctors were highly or well satisfied with the teaching. Only 10% were slightly critical. 2. They could better communicate with, and were able to show more tolerance towards, the "difficult" patients. 3. Specialized knowledge increased (risk of infection, "management of hepatitis", contact with authorities, co-medication). 4. Some critical remarks pointed towards ways in which this particular further education could in future be better organized and dealt with more intensively.
