Perceived benefits and barriers of multidisciplinary teams in the management of diabetes and comorbidities among physicians: A qualitative double-center study.

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 dynamics of working within multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to manage diabetes and comorbidities remain underexplored. Investigating physicians' experiences provide insights into the benefits and challenges of MDTs in this complex context, paving the way for improving current practices and shaping future interventions to better address the needs of this patient population. Aim: To explore perceived benefits and barriers of MDTs in the management of people with diabetes and comorbidities among physicians. Methods: Eleven semi-structured interviews (duration 26-38 min) were conducted online among physicians. Criterion sampling of physicians from relevant medical specialties and with experience from MDTs were included. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four major themes emerged from the thematic analysis: (1) benefits of MDT, (2) challenges related to MDT, (3) the need for MDTs and cross-sectorial work, and (4) prerequisites for successful MDTs. Improved professional learning and relationships, enhanced capacity leverage, and optimized treatment were some of the major benefits. Siloed healthcare systems and cultures and resource demanding MDTs were considered barriers. Composition and outline of the MDTs, including the role of general practitioners (GPs), were considered important aspects of MDTs. The increase in multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and complexity in patient pathways necessitates MDTs and cross-sectorial work. Conclusion: Our findings indicate several benefits and barriers of MDTs. MDTs and cross-sectorial work are needed prospectively in healthcare and hold the potential to embrace some of the challenges encountered by people with diabetes and comorbidities. Understanding and incorporating experiences of physicians could inform future improvements in care management.
