The impact of the desktop computer on rheumatologist-patient consultations.

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
This study examined the impact of computers on rheumatologist-patient communication. Fifteen rheumatologist-patient consultations were videotaped and analysed qualitatively. Patients routinely ceased their reporting on a particular topic when the rheumatologist's body and gaze were reoriented toward the computer. Rheumatologists employed the computer to direct the consultation, whilst patients took advantage of spaces in the consultation created by the physician's use of the computer to continue talking, often involving extended pain reporting. These findings are discussed in relation to the potential impact of the computer in the consultation.
