Effect of physician characteristics and knowledge on the quality of dyslipidemia management and LDL-C target goal achievement in China: Subgroup analysis of the Dyslipidemia International Study.
Observational study in Journal of global health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of physicians' characteristics and knowledge of LDL-C target goals on the quality of lipid management in China.
methodsA total of 25 317 dyslipidemia patients who had taken lipid-lowering medication for >3 months were enrolled in our study. Patients' demographic data, medical history, lipid profile, their physician's specialty and professional title and their hospital level as well as their LDL-C goal opinions were recorded.
resultsQuestionnaires were completed by 926 physicians with 6 different specialties and 4 professional statuses, in 3 different-level hospitals. Most (74.5%) of the physicians recognized the importance of considering LDL-C serum concentration for treating dyslipidemia, and set target LDL-C goals according to the 2007 Chinese guidelines for 83.4% of their patients. The LDL-C goal achievement rate was significantly higher for patients whose physicians' knowledge of LDL-C target goals was consistent with guideline recommendations, compared with those whose physicians' knowledge was inconsistent with the guidelines (60.4% vs 31.1%,
conclusionChinese physicians' characteristics and knowledge of LDL-C target goals were associated with patients' LDL-C goal achievement.
