Is general practice audit alive and well? The view from Portsmouth.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A brief look at medical audit activity in the Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Health Authority area by use of a questionnaire mailed out to general practitioners, information from the medical audit advisory group database and the local health authority records. The details collected consisted of topics chosen, the stage of audit cycle reached, funding arrangements, practice personnel and the outside collaborators involved. Most general practices were found to be undertaking audit activity, and in some it had become integrated into the everyday routine.
