Analysis of Reference Practices among Practicing Orthopaedicians in India.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. 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
purposeOn-The-Go (OTG) references are those that clinicians make within a tight deadline at the point of patient care to direct critical decisions. We conducted this study to assess the knowledge level of orthopaedicians on clinical usefulness and quality appraisal of different reference methods along with their attitude towards its utility for practice. MATERIALS AND
methodsA web-based survey was administered through Google Forms among the members of the Tamil Nadu Orthopaedic Association (TNOA) by snowball sampling method. The survey was designed by the Quality Appraisal Committee (QAC) of Orthopaedic Research Group (ORG) with 17 items. Association and correlation analysis were done between different responses in the survey to find out ways to improve the reference practices.
results177 participants with a mean age of 43.5 years completed the survey. About 45.8% (
conclusionThis is the first study on the information-seeking behaviour of the orthopaedicians. OTG references remain a part of the orthopaedic practice and are made mostly by accessing online research articles. Imparting knowledge of their quality appraisal should be an active part of the orthopaedic curriculum. This will, in turn, improve the attitude and reference practices leading to better decision-making towards patient care.
