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

questionsWhat information resources are available to health care practitioners not affiliated with the University of New Mexico? How satisfied are they with those resources?

settingThe state is rural and medically underserved.

methodsThe authors interviewed practitioners, using a nine-item guide. Interview transcripts were coded using QSR NVivo 9 software. MAIN

resultsFifty-one practitioners were interviewed. Most use online information resources. Many have access to a point-of-care resource within an electronic health records system. They often expressed dissatisfaction with available patient education resources.

conclusionNew Mexico practitioners routinely use electronic information resources but indicate they need better patient information.
