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.
Who cites it

Abstract
A telephone survey of a random sample of Ontario family physicians was conducted 6 to 8 months after disseminating evidence-based guidelines for screening and managing asymptomatic hypercholesterolemia. Seventy-eight percent of respondents stated they followed these guidelines. However, specific questions revealed as few as 5% of respondents actually followed the guidelines.
