1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Specialist Physicians currently provide a substantive contribution towards acute medical takes in hospitals but there is debate as to the role of acute physicians in removing the need for this role. We discuss the benefits and advantages in continuing to provide this general internal medicine component to our patients and propose that it is an important part of most medical specialities. We argue that removing our participation will potentially diminish our overall skills as specialist physicians and advocate that we continue to provide this key component of medical care.
