GP characteristics and video use in out-of-hours primary care: a register-based study.
Article in BJGP open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGPs can use video when performing telephone triage in out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC) in Denmark. Video use varies considerably among GPs; this variation could be related to GP characteristics.
aimTo investigate associations between GP characteristics and video use in OOH-PC telephone triage. DESIGN &
settingA register-based study using data from the OOH-PC registration system from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021.
methodBinomial regression analysis was used to measure the associations between video contacts and triage GP characteristics, thereby calculating risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsVideo was used in 10.8% of telephone triage contacts to OOH-PC. Video use was significantly associated with GPs having more shifts in OOH-PC (RR: 1.36-1.93, reference: low number of shifts) and GPs being younger (RR: 0.84-0.67, reference: age<40 years). Central Denmark Region and Region of Southern Denmark had significant higher video-user rates (RR: 1.23-1.46) than North Denmark Region, whereas Region Zealand had significant lower rates (RR = 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.38 to 0.87). The association between video use and GP sex was modified by number of shifts in OOH-PC. Video use was positively correlated with male sex among GPs with low, medium, and high number of shifts (RR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.29) and negatively correlated with male sex among GPs with very high number of shifts (RR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.58 to 0.98).
conclusionVideo use was associated with the number of shifts in OOH-PC, GP sex and age, and geographical region.
