Family Physicians as System-Specific Specialists in Japan's Aging Society.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 73 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
Family medicine is a vital medical specialty in an aging society. The scope of each family doctor's training and practice varies according to the context of their work, their roles, the organization and resources of the health systems in each country, and their ability to adapt to the healthcare needs of their country. As societal requirements change, so does the role of family medicine. In Japan, family physicians' educational systems were officially established in 2017 as the nineteenth specialty, following discussions among family physicians, general internal medicine physicians, and hospitalists. Family physicians' specialization in systems could facilitate access to appropriate health resources with proper timing while respecting the culture and context of each patient. Therefore, family physicians can be systems specialists on the same basis as organ and other specialists. Family physicians include people and families in their ecological systems. Family physicians should therefore specialize in healthcare systems.
