First-year medical student attitudes about general practice in China: a comparison between Chinese and international students.

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
introductionChinese policy increasingly emphasizes growth of general practice (GP). The purpose of this research was to understand attitudes toward GP among first-year Chinese and international medical students studying in China.
methodsBased on a cross-sectional survey using a 5-point Likert scale of medical students at Peking University Health Science Center regarding attitudes toward specialty choice, practice setting, care of patient age groups, care types, and GP, we compared responses of Chinese and international medical students.
resultsIn total, 258 national and 77 international students participated. International students ranked equally or more highly as favorable practice settings associated with GP, eg, outpatient ( DISCUSSION: Chinese students' attitudes about the social desirability of GP are consistent with Chinese policy, but international students more strongly endorsed desirable work characteristics of actual GP. These differences accentuate the need for more attention in the medical curriculum to educate Chinese students about why GP can be a personally rewarding career.
