Partners in Practice: Primary Care Physicians Define the Role of Artificial Intelligence.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) shows strong potential to transform primary care by streamlining workflows, improving diagnostics, and enhancing patient outcomes. However, integration faces barriers, including PCPs' concerns about workflow disruptions, reliability, and loss of human connection. This study explored PCPs' perspectives and challenges around AI integration in primary care to inform the development of practical, human-centered tools.
methodThis qualitative study included four focus groups (n = 40), comprising PCPs, residents, and AI developers, in December 2024. Sessions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged: (1)
resultKey findings emphasized the need for incremental AI adoption, starting with administrative tasks and progressing to clinical decision support, with systems acting as "silent partners" to enhance rather than replace human judgment. PCPs see AI as a promising way to reduce administrative burden and improve care quality but stress the need for human-centered design that protects the doctor-patient relationship.
conclusionSuccessful integration requires addressing workflow compatibility, ethical concerns, and preserving clinical autonomy through collaborative development.
