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
Recruitment and retention of medical practitioners is a challenging contemporary issue for rural and remote areas. In this paper, we explore the importance of what it is that doctors value in rural and remote places from their own personal, organisational, social and spatial lives. We do this by drawing on original research from Scotland that explored doctors' decisions on choosing, or not, to work in remote and rural locations. Three themes are explored: moving and staying, using place to think holistically about places beyond the language of work that recruitment and retention implies; how doctors' professional values and their capacity to enact those values change with time; and how policy landscapes interact and shape rural and remote locations as valued places for doctors to live and work. We end the paper by reiterating the World Health Organization findings that a whole-of-society approach is required to support rural and remote communities to flourish, thus, encouraging doctors and their families to value such places and, ultimately,
