Prescribing and practice development decision-making in Irish general practices.
Review in Irish journal of medical science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn Ireland, primary care is considered the appropriate setting to meet the majority of health and personal social service needs, with GPs central to its provision. Irish general practices are characterised by considerable autonomy in terms of commercial practice and the range of medical services they provide; however, little is known about what influences their decision-making with respect to the adoption of new health-care technologies.
aimThe aim of this paper is to provide a holistic overview on prescribing and practice development decision-making in Irish general practices.
methodsA summary of recent publications examining the factors influencing the adoption of new drugs, medical equipment and information and communications technology (ICT) by Irish GPs is undertaken.
resultsThese studies identify experiential learning, connectedness with others, and GP and practice characteristics as significant influences in the adoption of new drugs, medical equipment and ICT in Irish general practices.
conclusionsThis summary identifies possible levers for encouraging the adoption of health-care technologies by Irish GPs.
