Factors Associated With Resident Continuity in Ambulatory Training Practices.
Article in Journal of graduate medical education, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundContinuity of care is a critical element of residents' educational experience in primary care programs.
objectiveWe examined how continuity in resident practices compares to nonteaching practices, identified factors associated with increased continuity, and explored the association between continuity and quality measures.
methodsWe analyzed 117 235 patient visits to 4 resident practices (26 resident teams in internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, and medicine-pediatrics) and 270 242 visits to nonteaching community practices between July 2013 and May 2014. We defined continuity from both clinician and patient perspectives, and used logistic regression models to examine the influence of factors on continuity while controlling for postgraduate year, patient age, gender, race, and insurance.
resultsContinuity was greater at nonteaching sites compared to resident practices (87.3% versus 56.2%,
conclusionsIncreased clinical faculty time, scheduling protocols, and absence of advanced practice providers were most strongly associated with increasing continuity. Increased continuity was associated with improved quality measures.
