Exploring what GP registrars consider distinctive to consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients: a mixed-methods study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveUnderstanding what general practice (GP) registrars consider as distinctive in their consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients may help bridge the gap between patient-determined cultural safety and current medical and behavioural practice. This project seeks to explore what GP registrars perceive as distinctive to their consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.
methodsThis mixed-methods study involved a survey considering demographic details of GP registrars, questionnaire regarding attitude and cultural capability, and semistructured interviews.
results26 registrars completed the survey. 16 registrars completed both the survey and the interview. Despite recognising a need to close the gap on health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and wanting to do things differently, most registrars adopted a generic approach to all consultations. DISCUSSION: This study suggests that overall, GP registrars want to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, but do not want their consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients to be distinctive. Registrars appeared to approach all consultations in a similar manner using predominantly patient-centred care principles. Given the importance of a culturally safe consultation, it is important for us to consider how to increasingly transform these learners and teach cultural safety in this context.
