Reinforcing Primary Care in Korea: Policy Implications, Data Sources, and Research Methods.
Review in Journal of Korean medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Korea has undergone rapid transformation, achieving significant advancements in both economic development and social security. Notably, the country achieved universal health coverage within a remarkably short period, representing a significant institutional milestone in healthcare. However, the healthcare system faces substantial challenges due to limited resources, a reliance on private healthcare providers, and a rapidly aging population which threatens its sustainability. Various efforts have been made to strengthen Korea's primary care environment. This study aims to examine the multifaceted healthcare landscape surrounding primary care in Korea, analyze associated systems to identify institutional limitations, and propose strategies to enhance primary care in the future. Additionally, it seeks to raise awareness of the current state of primary care in Korea and serves as an example for other countries striving to improve their primary care systems. Furthermore, this review provides a comprehensive overview of key data sources relevant to primary care research in Korea, such as the National Health Insurance Service claims data and the Korea Health Panel Survey. It also outlines practical research methodologies-from epidemiological studies to policy analyses-serving as a valuable reference for both domestic and international scholars seeking to enhance primary care systems.
