Payment model impact on the resilience of rural communities: Exploratory study.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore rural physician perspectives on how remuneration impacted their experiences of contributing to community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
designExploratory, qualitative subanalysis.
settingTwenty-two rural communities in 4 Canadian provinces.
participantsFamily physicians, other health care professionals, and patients in rural communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.
methodsSemistructured, virtual interviews conducted between November 2021 and February 2022 were included in the subanalysis. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. MAIN
findingsParticipants expressed working under an alternative payment plan (APP) model facilitated greater engagement in their communities and said they were generally fairly compensated for nonclinical duties. Increased time allotted to each patient re-centred care priorities to meet the long-term needs of the community. Finally, APP physicians stated their systems of care supported their own wellness throughout the pandemic.
conclusionFindings suggest physicians working in an APP model felt they had increased ability to engage with the community and contribute to its resilience. The flexibility of APPs may allow for more physician involvement in community sustainability that is not directly related to patient care.
