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
backgroundThere is a limited knowledge on how medical engagement influences quality of care provided in primary care. The extent of the use of feedback reports from a national quality-of-care database can be considered as a measure of process quality. This study explores relationships between the use of feedback reports and medical engagement among general practitioners, general practitioner demographics, clinic characteristics, and services.
methodsA cross-sectional combined questionnaire and register study in a sample of 352 single-handed general practitioners in 2013. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore associations between the use of feedback reports for diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and medical engagement.
resultsFor both diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a higher degree of medical engagement was associated with an increased use of feedback reports. Furthermore, we identified positive associations between using feedback reports and general practitioner services (spirometry, influenza vaccinations, performing annual reviews for patients with chronic diseases) and a negative association between usage of quality-of-care feedback reports and the number of consultations per patient.
conclusionUsing feedback reports for chronic diseases in general practice was positively associated with medical engagement and also with the provision of services in general practice.
