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

Thirty years ago the first edition of the Australian Journal of Rural Health (AJRH) was published. Following reviews published in 2002 and 2012, it is again time to review what progress has been made in bringing about improved health outcomes for residents of rural and remote Australia over the past decade. Compounded by the Covid-19 crisis that has affected the health and health care system throughout Australia, this review notes the significant lack of progress over the past decade in ameliorating ongoing problems of poor access to primary health care and associated avoidable hospitalisations, persistent poor health of Indigenous Australians, and the greater prevalence of a range of health risk factors. Following the findings of the recent New South Wales enquiry into rural health, this review highlights what is needed to implement the many recommendations that have emerged from the wealth of evidence-based research published in journals such as the AJRH to improve health outcomes and increase the parity and equity in health between metropolitan and non-metropolitan Australians.
