German physicians' expectations of healthcare management companies: An exploratory study.
Article in Health science reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and aims: Even 20 years after the introduction of managed care (MC) in Germany, many physicians are skeptical of the concept, hindering its acceptance. Methods: Based on multivariate statistical methods this exploratory study examines how so-called management companies, that is, administrative service providers within MC contracts, can increase physicians' acceptance of MC by offering, for example, day-to-day coordination and administrative tasks. Results: As a main empirical result, we find support for this hypothesis, that is, that certain physicians evaluate their MC participation according to its prospective administrative support. Based on this, up to four clusters of physicians can be statistically identified in terms of their preferences regarding MC. Conclusion: As a policy recommendation, we derive from our results that a future focus on the administrative support components of MC is essential to attract certain physician groups to participate in MC.
