General Practitioners' Perceptions of Patient Involvement-An Interview Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
RATIONALE AND
aimGeneral practitioners (GPs) play an increasingly important role in the healthcare system, wherein patient involvement is a key element in delivering individualized and tailored treatment. This study aimed to explore GPs' perceptions of user involvement and their considered challenges and opportunities regarding user involvement.
methodsA qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted. The approach was inductive and open, and data were analysed thematically. Twelve GPs were recruited through snowball sampling and individually interviewed in March-April 2021.
resultsSix themes were generated: Relation and knowledge; Negotiation; Compliance; Information, communication and dialog; Time and process; and GPs' considerations of involvement. The GPs described a plethora of tools and strategies to shape their relationship with the patient, individually inform the patient, and negotiate their power to achieve compliance and, thus, the best treatment for the patient.
conclusionGPs consider patient involvement equal to information as a means to compliance to some extent, but they also consider information and compliance interdependent. However, patient involvement is challenging for the GPs when the patient is misinformed or when the GP's current status is poor.
