The enigma of doctor-patient relationship.
Review in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
The doctor-patient relationship is crucial to the health-care delivery. In the past, the relationship was viewed as one between a healer and a sick person. However, in the modern era, it is seen as an interaction between a care provider and a service user. The Mental Healthcare Act (MHCA) 2017 gives importance to rights and provision for more autonomy to patients. We examined, in the context of the existing literature, the potential impact the implementation of MHCA 2017 can have on the doctor-patient relationship. A bond between doctor and patient that is based on trust has been an integral part of patient care and has been described to promote recovery, reduce relapse, and enhance treatment adherence. Growing mistrust among patients toward doctors leads them to change their doctors frequently, and due to this, the patients are at risk of losing the therapeutic benefit of the doctor-patient relationship. The doctor-patient relationship has been understudied in areas of health-care need, such as in rural areas, where accessibility and availability of care itself become the most important goal. Medical advancement, with several new treatment options, as well as the availability of many experts for patients to choose from, seems a boon turning into a bane. MHCA 2017 and other health-care policies so far have not given importance to this relationship that is being damaged by several factors including rising health-care costs, especially in private sector and after patients have become "consumers." However, for now, the foremost thing is the psychiatrists have to work to comply with the law and document to justify clinical decisions.
