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: The core values and principles of general practice (GP) and family medicine (FM) have been described by various international scientific societies, including the World Organization of National Colleges, Academies, and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians (WONCA). These values and principles, such as continuity of care, a bio-psycho-social approach, and hermeneutic case understanding, are also integrated into FM training programs. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and perspectives of FM trainees regarding the core values and principles of FM. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, new participants of the postgraduate FM training program KWBW Verbundweiterbildung plus© were asked to complete a self-developed questionnaire on their educational experiences, attitudes toward, and knowledge of core values in GP/FM. Specifically, participants were asked to identify the core values and principles associated with GP/FM. Qualitative analysis was used to explore the answers. Additionally, participants were required to define a set of core values, which were then analyzed semi-quantitatively and rated as correct, semi-correct, wrong, or unknown. Results: Out of a total of Conclusion: The study identified deficits in the active and passive knowledge of GP/FM core values among GP residents. An educational compact intervention about GP/GM core principles and values proved successful in its realization and implementation. To become a reflective practitioner in FM, GP residents must engage in self-reflection on evidence-based medicine, attitudes, core values, and principles. Therefore, core values should be addressed at the beginning of FM training and constantly referred to within the longitudinal curriculum. Family physicians should be continuously empowered to explicitly reflect on and discuss the core principles that shape their professional identity.
