Experience of establishing a family medicine OPD at a tertiary care level hospital in North India.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The establishment of a dedicated Family Medicine Outpatient Department (OPD) at a tertiary care hospital in North India marks a significant step toward delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. This initiative bridges the gap between super specialty care and a holistic model addressing the diverse needs of individuals and families across all ages. This article outlines the challenges encountered during the inception and operational phases, including system integration, educating patients and staff, and resource allocation. Evidence-based approaches such as fostering interdepartmental collaboration, continuous staff training, patient education, and leveraging technology were adopted to overcome these hurdles. family medicine OPD has improved care coordination, reduced specialist workload, and enhanced patient satisfaction. The OPD also serves as a crucial training platform for medical students and residents. Expanding services, integrating subspecialty clinics, enhancing telemedicine, and conducting research to strengthen family medicine's role in the tertiary care are planned in the future.
