Enablers and barriers of General Practitioner's choice of additional skills training: a mixed-methods study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Additional skills training (AST) is a prerequisite for rural generalist training in Australia, where Rural Generalists (RGs) undergo specialized training in a distinct discipline for a period of 12 months. This study investigated the perspectives of General Practitioners (GPs) regarding the factors influencing their selection of AST programs. Methods: Using a sequential explanatory mixed methods approach, quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data were collected. Quantitative data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviations, while thematic analysis was employed for the qualitative data. Results: A total of 106 respondents completed the survey, with 13 participating in interviews (supervisors Conclusion: Additional skills training is a highly valued training program. Most of the GPs who were involved in the program were intrinsically motivated to participate. However, to ensure its sustainability, wider recognition of the value, better visibility, and better alignment with community needs are required.
