1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThis exploratory qualitative study aims to uncover the identity work in interprofessional (IP) team interaction to understand specializing physicians' (SP) professional identities by analyzing how they position themselves in relation to others through the lens of positioning theory.

methodThe data for this study consist of 65 self-reflexive essays written by SPs during their mandatory leadership studies.

resultsAltogether, five distinct physician positions (peer, coordinator, leader, medical expert, and decision-maker) and two distinct storylines (teamwork as communication vs. teamwork as an organizational tool) were identified during the positioning analysis. DISCUSSION: The wide range of physician positions reveals how diversely and dynamically SPs adapt leadership as part of their professional identity and reframes future studies to explore
