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

objectiveTo identify what can be done to promote research and development (R+D) in primary care. To find the main lines of primary care R+D in the Community of Valencia, Spain.

designQualitative research based on consensus group. Concretely, the Phillips technique, modified for the number attending, was employed.

settingPrimary care.

participantsTwenty-four primary care professionals in the Community of Valencia (75% of 32 invited): physicians, pharmacists, teaching or research unit professionals, medical managers, and researcher-doctors leading primary care R+D projects. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Four questions were asked: concerning barriers to research, how to make it easier to take part in competitive R+D contests, how to disseminate results and what topics are of most interest today.

resultsProblems identified were: lack of time, need for technical support, and need for day-schools and prizes to promote investigation. It was suggested that research should be given value in job contests, it should be made a requirement to finish training (MIR), funds for projects in health areas should be created and finance for emerging groups should be provided.

conclusionsIn summary, it was proposed to create research units in every department/area with professionals given time off to lead projects and with administrative support to gain resources. Doctors should be encouraged to take part by the recognition of research for job contests, in their professional careers and in productivity indicators.
