The computer research network of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners: an approach to general practice research in New Zealand.
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 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Computers are now in widespread use by general practitioners (GPs) in many countries. In New Zealand this development has advanced general practice research by enabling collaboration among a small population of doctors practising in geographically diverse locations. This paper reviews the establishment of the Computer Research Network of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and its development between 1990 and 1995. The Network consists of 181 general practices (approximately 450 GPs) from throughout urban and rural New Zealand. All participants use computers in their practices to record consultation notes and to generate prescriptions, investigations and referral forms. Computer programs developed in the RNZCGP Research Unit are run on commercial software in doctors' surgeries to provide anonymous, individual data. In addition to the routine analysis of utilization for feedback to participants, 13 research projects have been completed. These include investigations of access to general practice care, use of health services by individuals and families, surveillance of immunization uptake, epidemiology of common conditions, and the use of pharmaceuticals in general practice. The RNZCGP Computer Research Network is an example of a computerized general practice research network that has been productive without receiving significant financial resources or having a formal management structure.
