Limited options: a report on GP access to services.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe Structure of Irish General Practice over 23 years was the third in a series of national studies that examined the development of general practice in 1982, 1992, and 2005.
aimsThis study analysed specific data from the 2005 survey to determine the types of services offered by GPs, and to examine the changes in access to diagnostic/treatment services from 1982 to 2005.
methodsA questionnaire was sent to a stratified random sample of Irish GPs seeking information on their practice.
results476 (87%) valid questionnaires were returned. The range of services offered by GPs had increased. Access to diagnostic/treatment services was limited, and varied considerably depending on the type of practice. Access to chest X-rays and skeletal X-rays had decreased.
conclusionsAccess to existing services must be increased, and significant resources must be put into the development of dedicated primary care services.
