Models of global primary care post-2030.
Review in The Lancet. Primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Primary care is currently a central focus in global health policy; however, renewed attention has not translated into the investment needed to build systems that are fit for the future. As 2030 approaches, many health systems are converging towards primary care models that provide community-based, first-contact access, but they omit the other core functions of comprehensiveness, continuity, and coordination. In this Viewpoint, we argue that these primary care lite models are ill-equipped to manage the increasing burden of multimorbidity; harness technological disruption; and reduce health inequities. We propose a new trajectory towards hybrid models of care that anchor community-oriented outreach workers within multidisciplinary teams that are trained in family medicine. Although artificial intelligence and digital tools can magnify impact and reach, we warn that their uninformed adoption could create digital gatekeepers and deepen disparities. To future-proof primary care, policy makers should invest in integrated models that deliver robust, equitable, and person-centred care that is needed to meet future challenges.
