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
Objective: This study examines the teaching motivation of pediatricians working in outpatient settings in Lower Saxony, aiming to promote medical student training in outpatient teaching practices. The focus lies on identifying motivating factors and barriers in order to develop concepts for establishing a "pediatric teaching network". Methods: A digital, anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted between July and September 2024. The cross-sectional study, based on prior work from general practice, included 27 items addressing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as barriers related to student teaching. Responses were rated on a four-point Likert scale and supplemented with open-ended questions. Univariate analysis methods were applied, and factors influencing teaching motivation were explored. Results: A total of 137 complete responses were evaluated. Given the total number of potential respondents, the generalizability of the results may be limited. The average teaching motivation was 7.5 out of 10 points. Intrinsic motives - such as promoting the next generation (99% agreement) and knowledge exchange (98% agreement) - were dominant. Extrinsic incentives, such as recognition as an "academic teaching practice" (78% agreement), were considered relevant, while financial incentives were of lesser importance. The main barrier identified was concern that students might disrupt practice operations (53% agreement). Conclusion: The strong intrinsic teaching motivation of pediatricians indicates potential for developing pediatric teaching networks. However, targeted collaboration is needed to overcome structural barriers, such as integrating students into routine practice. Strategies to enhance teaching motivation include (medical) didactic training, flexible teaching models, and organizational support.
