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
Physician communication (PC) is central to influencing physician-patient relationship (PPR), and physician empathy (PE) is central to PC. A comprehensive and objective assessment of the mechanisms underlying PPR from the two-way perspective of physicians and patients are important for social development. However, the relationship between these three variables under the two-way perspective is not clear. To examine the effectiveness of PC in predicting PPR from a two-way perspective of physicians and patients and the underlying mechanisms that influence PPR. We selected 2665 physicians and 2983 patients in China and examined the effect of physician empathy on PPR and the mediating role of PC between PE and PPR using structural equation modeling. The results of the physician self-assessment showed that the link between PC and PPR was not significant, while the results of the patient other assessment showed that physician communication was not only effective in predicting the doctor-patient relationship but also mediated the relationship between physician empathy and PPR; further analysis of the underlying mechanisms affecting PPR revealed that the results of the physician self-assessment showed that PC mediated the relationship between perspective-taking and PPR; however, the results of the patient other assessment showed that physician However, patient ratings showed that PC mediated the relationship between perspective-taking and PPR, as well as between empathic concern and PPR. However, patient ratings indicate that PC mediates the relationship between perspective-taking and PPR and between empathic concern and the PPR.
