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

This article will highlight recent efforts published in the medical literature to promote environmental sustainability in the outpatient clinic setting, which are likely to be feasible for health professionals to implement in their own practices. These potential efforts are divided into 3 broad categories: (1) reducing travel to the clinic when feasible, (2) reducing waste production in the clinic, and (3) optimizing the use of high-value diagnostics and therapeutics. As research specifically related to interventions to promote environmental sustainability in outpatient clinics is relatively limited, health professionals are encouraged to continue sharing success stories from their own practice.
