1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper is written from the viewpoint of a doctor who has recently undergone general practice vocational training, and has first-hand experience of some of the opportunities, difficulties, and uncertainties facing doctors at this stage of their careers. The literature on vocational training and the issues concerning young doctors are explored in the light of concerns that recruitment into general practice is falling, that registrars may feel lost in a 'void' at the end of training, and that the 'new world' of post-training work brings problems for many new general practitioners (GPs). Instead of a traditional partnership, one of the authors (RB) chose a salaried, educationally oriented introduction to inner-city general practice. Some innovative, educational schemes, which are aiming to improve the appeal of general practice, are discussed.
