Ensuring a general medicine workforce for the future.
Article in Future hospital journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The acute hospital system in the NHS is in crisis, with the rising demands of treating elderly comorbid patients and limited financial and workforce resources. An increase in the workforce trained in and delivering general medical services seven days per week has been proposed as a solution to this crisis. The current trainee and consultant workforce is unable to provide this increase because of imbalances between training and service delivery, the different demands of large and small hospitals and the need to simultaneously provide high-quality specialised services. The demographics of the NHS medical workforce are also changing, which will limit expansion. It is very unlikely that a generalist workforce can be achieved in less than 10 years without a clear governmental strategy and increased staffing levels, both of which seem unlikely at present.
