Trial report in Canadian respiratory journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundImplementation of current clinical practice guidelines in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is suboptimal. New implementation strategies should be developed and evaluated.

methodsThe authors report the rationale and planned methods of a project that sought to use a multifaceted knowledge translation intervention consisting of interactive education, mentorship through quality circles and practice-based tools in primary care to address key asthma and COPD care gaps. The present study was aborted due to inadequate primary care physician recruitment. Accordingly, the authors provide a critical review of their recruitment strategies and discuss alternative approaches and examples based on previous literature. DISCUSSION: These practical lessons and discussion seek to inform researchers involved in designing and recruiting for future knowledge translation studies addressing chronic disease management in primary care.
