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

Clinical and educational professionals are increasingly involved in debates about priorities. Economic science is extending its ability to help us understand the true costs of our services and to decide, or advise, between alternatives in provision. Methodology of studies varies considerably, and results often vary too. Nevertheless, they have the great virtue of making explicit the complexities of service choices. Beecham’s review is not only for economists and researchers: clinicians need not only the lessons from the studies reviewed but more and better research.
