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

purposeTo assess physicians' evaluation of quality, clinical impact and ranking of Norwegian drug information centres (DICs) with regard to drug use during pregnancy.

methodsQuestionnaires were submitted consecutively to all physicians who consulted a Norwegian DIC in 2006 for information on patient-specific drug use during pregnancy.

resultsOf the 162 questionnaires sent out, 123 (76%) were returned and 117 were included in the analysis. All of the responding physicians reported that the DICs provided high-quality service in terms of providing information on drug use during pregnancy, and 92% stated that the answer from the DICs had a clinical impact. The DICs were ranked highest among the different sources providing information, and general practitioners (GP) ranked the information provided by DICs significantly higher than hospital physicians (HP).

conclusionsPhysicians consider the information provided by Norwegian DICs on drug use during pregnancy to be of high quality and of significant clinical impact. The DICs were ranked highest as a source of information among GP, suggesting that the need for prescribing support is influenced by the workplace.
