Development of an electronic prescription processing option: an aid for general practice.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
An interactive computer-supported prescription processing system has been developed as an add-on to existing general practitioner information systems. The aim of the system is to improve the clarity, efficiency and economy of drug treatment choices and prescription writing. It enables the doctor to choose the best treatment from the system's formulary according to the patient's complaint, symptom or diagnosis. The selections are based on complaints and diagnoses from the International classification of primary care (ICPC). A prescription is printed and the potential exists for individualized patient instruction leaflets to be printed. Furthermore, the system may prove useful for retrospective and prospective statistical and epidemiological studies. This implies continuous adaptation, which is also necessary to keep the system updated. As well as an aid in daily general practice, the system is also designed to serve the needs of graduate and postgraduate training programmes.
