Identification of the multimorbidity training needs of primary care professionals: Protocol of a survey.
Article in Journal of multimorbidity and comorbidity. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Current epidemiological situation has prompted the consideration of multimorbility (MM) as a prevalent condition, influenced by age, educational level and social support, related to unfavorable social and health determinants. Primary Care (PC) has a key role in its approach but further training of professionals in MM is required. The evidence on the effectiveness of training interventions in MM is still limited. Knowing the experiences, opinions and training needs of professionals is essential to enhance training interventions.
objectivesIdentify perceived training needs by PC health professionals (doctors and nurses) in MM and polypharmacy.
methodsDesign: Cross-sectional study based on an online survey (anonymous-ad hoc questionnaire). Participants and recruitment: 384 doctors and nurses working in healthcare centers and out-of-hospital emergencies of the Spanish National Health System. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling via email addressed to Health Institutions, and social networks. DATA: Demographic characteristics and professional profile data (close-ended and multiple-choice questions) will be collected. Open-ended questions will be used to identify training needs, difficulties and resources about MM; required skills to care patients with MM will be assessed using a 4-item ordinal scale. ANALYSIS: Coding of data prior to analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis, participation and completion rates of the questionnaire and estimation of absolute and relative frequencies and 95% confidence intervals in close-ended questions. Content analysis with inductive methodology in open-ended questions. Ethics: Ethical approval, Online informed consent.
conclusionsThe identification of training needs of health professionals who care for patients with MM will be necessary data for developing highly effective training activities.
