Physiotherapy extended-role practitioner for individuals with hip and knee arthritis: patient perspectives of a rural/urban partnership.
Article in Physiotherapy Canada. Physiotherapie Canada, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo explore the perspectives of people with hip and knee arthritis regarding a physiotherapy extended-role practitioner (ERP) model of care in a rural setting.
methodUsing semi-structured interviews, a qualitative descriptive case study was undertaken with 13 participants from a rural family practice located in the province of Ontario, Canada, who had all been assessed by an ERP. Transcribed interviews were analyzed for emergent themes.
resultsThree main themes were identified: (1) timely access to care, (2) distance as a factor in seeking care, and (3) perceptions of the ERP model of care.
conclusionsParticipants reported many positive experiences with the physiotherapy ERP rural model. Processes related to minimizing travel required to access care are important for those in rural communities. An ERP model of care offers competent care that includes musculoskeletal diagnosis as well as time for educating patients and addressing questions.
