The integration of evidence based medicine and personal care in family practice.
Article in Irish journal of medical science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Evidence based medicine is seductive in its simplicity and few would argue with the philosophical concept. The reality of its application in primary care is rather different. It is difficult to find evidence supporting many clinical management decisions, it may be difficult to interpret evidence when it is available, and it may be difficult to apply this evidence in the consultation. Clinical decisions may be influenced at many levels through health policy, audit, protocols, and guidelines, but the individual doctor patient relationship remains at the core of general practice. Developing a culture of evidence based medicine in general practice must integrate quantitative and qualitative research, epidemiology and psychology and the skills of public health and family medicine.
