[Which Spanish journals are read and how Primary Care doctors keep informed].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo determine which medical journals are read by Primary Care doctors, their language preferences, publication format and the ways of accessing them.
designTelephone interview. LOCATION: All the autonomous communities of Spain.
participantsA total of 300 Primary Care physicians selected by proportional stratified sampling by autonomous community and type of professional (general practitioners and paediatricians). MEASURES: A structured 18-question survey on reading habits administered by telephone using computer-assisted techniques.
resultsRespondents declared they preferably read specialty journals and are inclined to the printed format, although the online version is the option of younger doctors and paediatricians. The general practitioners prefer to read case studies (73%) and paediatricians opt for the reviews (74%). Overall, 48% read 1 to 4 articles per week. The search tools preferred by 70% of respondents were Google and Yahoo, followed by databases (29%). Eighty eight per cent stated an interest in having a free online service to find quality Spanish journals. As regards language, 80% find it more useful to read articles in Spanish than in English, and 70% believe that there are no quality differences between the publications in both languages.
conclusionsThe publications in Spanish are used as the preferred sources of information by a high percentage of Primary Care physicians. These professionals believe that Spanish-language databases make it easier to access these publications, and are useful and necessary for professional practice.
