Shortage of Physicians: A Critical Review.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
A recent report of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) points out an insufficient number of physicians in Europe. The issue seems especially relevant in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, based on papers found in the PubMed database, we drew on the available information on the aspects of medical education and terms and rate of employment of physicians to submit potential solutions of how to increase the availability of physicians in Europe. We offer the following improvements in tackling the issue: (i) standardization of the method of verification of the number of physicians in practice for a meaningful comparison between European states; (ii) managerial reorganization of medical education to increase the flexibility of teaching; (iii) education shortening, e.g., to 4 years, for nurses, paramedics, and the like; (iv) circumscription of unnecessary health records and the use of artificial intelligence to streamline the recording system to ease the burden on the medical staff.
