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

backgroundThe compliance of physicians with the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) is insufficient and needs to be improved.

objectiveTo determine whether standalone computerized CPG within the PRESGUID project could improve compliance with the recommendations than the use of CPG in textual format.

methodComparative analyses of the responses made by two groups of resident physicians to a set of clinical cases. One group of residents had access to the CPG exclusively in textual format (paper document) while the second group had access to the CPG exclusively in computerized format within the PRESGUID software applications.

resultsThe computable CPG are more efficient than the paper-based CPG regarding responses in compliance with the recommendations especially those judged to be relevant by an expert.

conclusionThese results should encourage the bodies responsible for diffusing CPG to promote the computable format and to facilitate the computerization process.
