Figure 2. Direct comparison of scores, overall and by disease, using 3 measurement methods: standardized patients, vignettes, and chart abstraction. Scores are expressed as percentage correct; error bars represent upper bound of 95% CIs. Per analysis of variance model, P < 0.001 (overall); P > 0.2 for method by disease interaction. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
