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
introductionThe Australian Gold Coast Integrated Care programme trialled an innovative model of care to proactively manage high risk patients with complex and chronic conditions in collaboration with general practitioners. The objective was to enhance coordination and continuity of care across primary and secondary health services from a single point-of-entry multidisciplinary coordination centre. This case study, embedded in the broader trial, analysed the perceptions of patients, healthcare staff and general practitioners on the adequacy, comprehensiveness, timeliness and acceptability of the new model of care to help inform the decision by the health service whether to adopt it beyond the trial.
methodsThis mixed method embedded, explanatory case study design included surveys of general practice staff and focus groups with patients, carers and coordination centre staff. Qualitative data were thematically analysed and findings merged with survey data in a narrative explanatory case report. DISCUSSION: Staff, patients, general practitioners and practice nurses were generally satisfied with services, coordination of care and information sharing but general practice staff satisfaction ratings declined over time.
conclusionThe programme enhanced care and coordination of services and was valued by patients and healthcare providers. Study results provide a rationale for adopting the model for those with chronic and complex conditions.
