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 physician group (PG) model, while well-established in the United States, is a relatively recent healthcare delivery innovation in China. Despite rapid growth in PG registrations, comprehensive understanding of physicians' perspectives remains limited. Objective: To investigate Chinese physicians' perspectives and concerns regarding the PG model and identify factors influencing their support for its implementation. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 535 Chinese physicians between October-November 2024. The survey assessed participants' views on PG advantages, concerns, and overall support. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and variance analyses to explore correlations between physicians' characteristics and their perspectives. Results: Key facilitators for PG development included "New career direction outside the existing system" (75.1%) and "Improved income levels" (74.4%). Major concerns comprised "Policies restricting physician mobility" (69.7%) and "Lack of support from hospital managers" (57.8%). Overall support for PGs was moderate (3.710 ± 1.241). Administrative position holders showed significantly higher support than non-administrative staff ( Conclusion: This first systematic study of Chinese physicians' perspectives on PGs reveals moderate support driven by career development and income opportunities, while highlighting regulatory and institutional barriers. Results suggest the need for stable policies, enhanced income frameworks, and targeted support for early career physicians-who currently show less support than experienced physicians-to facilitate successful PG implementation in China.
