[Family medicine: the Cinderella of undergraduate studies? Study of the views of medical students about the speciality of family and community medicine].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo find the views of students doing the last year of medicine on the specialty of family and community medicine (FCM).
designCross-sectional study through self-administered questionnaire.
settingMedical faculties of the Universities of Oviedo and Cantabria.
participantsSixth-year medical students with possibilities of completing their degrees in the year 2000.Interventions. 22-question multiple-choice questionnaire, including assessment of undergraduate FCM training and view of its inclusion as a subject, choice of specialty in the next residents (MIR) exam, status of FCM, choice of professional to treat common pathologies in primary care, and knowledge of an activity (management of short-term time off) of GPs. MAIN
results73% of the 94 medical students polled had no theoretical training in FCM, but 89% were in favour of including it in the degree programme. 6% wanted to work as GPs. 77% thought that the status of FCM was comparable to that of other specialties. The rest thought it was inferior, although its status would rise for half of these if the FCM residency lasted 4 years. 50% would not choose FM to treat common pathologies in primary care. 55% identified the GP as the person empowered to issue sick notes for common illness.
conclusionsLack of undergraduate training in FCM is the cause of lack of interest in this specialty among medical students, its lack of status and students' lack of knowledge.
