[Health disorders and their prevalence in two primary care practices from the perspective of different coding].
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Family practices provide medical care for the majority of health problems. This already highlights the importance of primary health care with respect to quantity. A detailed five-year survey of cases in two rural practices gives insight into everyday practice. During the whole period of this year's prevalence survey, 24,541 or 32,605 episodes of care were recorded in a mean practice population of 1500 or 1700 persons, respectively. The frequency rates of more than 500 different health problems show a typical Pareto distribution. This distribution of the cases characterizes the subject of general practice/family medicine and essentially determines handling illness in practice. Lack of a common technical language, with regard to the classification of health disorders, becomes evident when comparing the practices. An issue whose impact on medical care, education and research should be further investigated.
