Health system drivers of hospital medicine in Canada: systematic review.
Synthesis in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 identify the underlying systemic drivers of the development and ongoing expansion of hospitalist programs in Canada. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE and Google Scholar were searched using combinations of the terms hospitalist, hospital medicine, and Canada. STUDY SELECTION: All publications that addressed the study question, including review articles, original research, editorials, commentaries, and letters or news articles, were included in the review. SYNTHESIS: Constant comparative methodology was used to analyze and code the articles and to synthesize the identified codes into broader themes. Three broad categories were identified: physician-related drivers, health system-related drivers, and patient-related drivers. Within each category, we identified a number of drivers.
conclusionMany drivers have been cited in the literature as reasons behind the emergence and growth of the hospitalist model in the Canadian health care system. While their interplay makes simple cause-and-effect conclusions difficult, these drivers demonstrate that hospitalist programs in Canada have developed in response to a complex set of provider, system, and patient factors.
