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

Purpose: Based on the Ecological Systems Theory, this study aims to identify multilevel factors that influence the psychosomatic medical service competency (PMSC) of general practitioners (GPs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 699 community general practitioners in Shanghai from December 2022 to March 2023 using a stratified random cluster sampling method. GPs' PMSC was assessed using a validated 27-item scale, covering knowledge, attitude and skills dimensions, with additional self-evaluative measures on perceived competency and training needs. Based on ecological systems theory, individual, institutional and systemic factors were examined. A three-stage hierarchical regression analysis was performed to identify multilevel determinants of PMSC. Results: A total of 713 questionnaires were distributed, yielding 699 valid responses. The response rate was 98.04%. According to the multiple hierarchical regression analysis, higher educational attainment ( Conclusion: Educational attainment, empathy, and training significantly influence general practitioners' psychosomatic medical service competency, with training coverage being the strongest predictor. This study highlighted the urgent need for targeted training and policy reforms to enhance psychosomatic care in Chinese primary care settings.
