The white papers, quality indicators and clinical responsibility.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The coalition government has set out its stall in a cluster of white paper consultation documents. One theme to emerge is a commitment to monitoring outcomes. It is outcomes, underpinned by National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence quality standards, that are to be used to regulate the NHS and these will be made available to the public. This paper sets out the importance of measuring quality in the NHS and some of the principles involved in analysis, presentation and interpretation of results. Clinicians have a duty to improve patient care and measurement and comparison is one of the tools at their disposal. Clinical involvement in the development of metrics and quality indicators is essential for meaningful results and it is vital that clinicians now take ownership of the quality of the clinical data captured on their patients.
