Reconfiguring a hospital towards general practice: the case of Peamount.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 decline in incidence of tuberculosis in Ireland has led Peamount Hospital to reconfigure its services towards the needs of general practice.
aimsTo ascertain views of local GPs on their current use of Peamount, and how the hospital might best serve their future needs.
methodsSelf-administered postal questionnaires sent to 151 GPs practicing in Peamount's catchment area, to determine their current use of services, and likely future use of proposed services. Total valid response rate 64% (n = 84).
resultsResponses indicated a lack of awareness of many services currently available, with a concomitant under-use of these services. The majority of GPs would use planned future services, particularly expanded radiology services.
conclusionsThis survey promoted awareness among GPs of services available at Peamount. It informed the planning of future services and promoted a culture of involving local GPs in the planning of services of which they will be the users.
