1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to explore the influence of GPs'information, motivation and behavior skills on EM prescribing behavior in urban and suburban districts.

methodA cross-sectional study was conducted from June to November 2022 cross 3 urban districts and 4 suburban districts in Beijing. The structural equation model was used to analyze the factors influencing the essential medicine prescription behavior among general practitioners in urban and suburban districts.

resultsA total of 511 valid questionnaires were collected. There was a statistically significant difference in mean scores for personal motivation and behavioral skills between urban GPs and suburban GPs. For urban GPs, the path analysis revealed that the social motivation had a direct effect on the essential medicine prescribing behavior (β = 0.225, p < 0.05). In contrast, for suburban GPs, both social motivation and personal motivation had a direct effect on the essential medicine prescribing behavior, respectively (β = 0.175, p < 0.05; β = 0.193, p < 0.01).

conclusionSocial motivation of urban GPs were positively and significantly associated with essential medicine prescribing behavior. Social motivation and personal motivation of suburban GPs were positively and significantly associated with essential medicine prescribing behavior. Therefore, various corresponding policies and measures should be developed to promote the National Essential Medicines Policy in China.
