[Frequency of attendance and degree of control of type-2 diabetic patients].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01826929 (Effectiveness of a New Health Care Organization Model in Primary Care for Chronic Cardiovascular Disease Patients Based on a Multifactorial Intervention), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveTo analyse whether the number of doctor's appointments for type-2 diabetes patients is linked to the degree of control of his/her illness.
settingPrimary care. Two teaching health centres in the public network (Petrer 1 and Petrer 2, Alicante, Spain).
designRetrospective, observational study. Review of computerised clinical histories and direct interview with patients. Patients with DM2 included in Diabetes Programme (DP); 18-month follow-up (January 2003-June 2004). SAMPLE SIZE: 86 patients (mean, 15 visits/year; SD, 7.1; alpha, 0.02; and accuracy to 2%). RANDOMISED SAMPLING: Study factor was number of visits. Evaluation criterion was difference in glycosylated haemoglobin (A(1c)) between start and end. Characteristics of the patients, characteristics of the illness and numbers of changes in treatment done were analysed. Statistical tests were: chi(2), Student t test, confidence intervals, and multivariate analysis.
resultsMean age was 65.5 (95% CI, 63.5-67.5); women, 57%; years of disease's evolution, 7.07 (95% CI, 5.6-8.5). Treatment was: diet, 12.8%; ADOs, 61.6%; ADO+insulin, 17.4%; insulin, 8.1%. Number of visits to the HC: total, 28.8 (95% CI, 26.5-31.2); medical, DP 4.7 (95% CI, 4.1-5.2); nursing DP, 11 (95% CI, 9.9-12.1). Changes of treatment were 1.73 (95% CI, 1.3-2.1); initial A1C, 7.0 (95% CI, 6.6-7.3), and final A1C, 6.9 (95% CI, 6.7-7.1). On multivariate analysis, the number of changes in the treatment (beta=-0.430; P=.007) had 0an association, but the number of visits (beta=-0.273; P=.215) and the other variables analysed had no statistical association.
conclusionsImprovement in control of glycosylated haemoglobin was not related to the number of visits to the doctor, but was related to changes in treatment.
