Will the future GP remain a personal doctor?
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
During the past three decades, general practice has evolved into a form of primary health care that provides a wide range of reactive, anticipatory, and preventive services, and now also purchases secondary care. As a result, practices now have more staff and more complex patterns of organization. However, most patients prefer smaller practices and personal list systems. There is a danger that a core feature of general practice--personal care--is gradually being eroded. If this trend is to be halted, the organization of general practices and the support available to them must be revised so that they can continue to provide personal care, yet also offer a wide range of effective services in the community.
