Experience and views of primary care physicians involved in reorganisation of care in family medicine practices during COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study from Slovenia.
Article in The European journal of general practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn Slovenia, primary care is the backbone and gatekeeper to the health care system. During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, primary care had to be reorganised to manage suspected COVID-19 patients, safely care for other patients, and manage the consequences of the pandemic.
objectivesTo explore the opinions and experiences of Slovenian primary care workers (PCWs) about their confrontation with COVID-19.
methodsIn June 2020, we conducted a qualitative study among PCWs in Slovenia. Invited participants (
resultsOut of 42 invited subjects, 18 participated in the study. The main predefined categories were Information/from decision-makers, Organisation of work, Workforce, Personal protective equipment, Views on decision-making institutions, Stressors that place additional burden on health workers, and Suggestions for improvement (funding, organisation of care). Within these categories, 29 themes emerged.
conclusionBased on participants' experiences and suggestions, the most important areas to address in similar pandemic situations are clear organisation of work in primary care (adequate funding, staff allocation, distribution of personal protective equipment), psychological solid support for health workers, and effective and timely support from health authorities.
