The Formation and Evolution of the Japan Primary Care Association: A 15-Year Retrospective.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 Japan Primary Care Association (JPCA) was established in 2010 through the merger of three academic societies: the Japanese Medical Society of Primary Care, the Japanese Academy of Family Medicine, and the Japanese Society of General Medicine. This article reviews the historical development of these predecessor organizations, the context and process of their unification, and the evolution of JPCA. Over the past 15 years, JPCA has promoted clinical practice, education, and research while enhancing inter-professional collaboration and certification systems for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. Its proactive response to disasters, involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic, and participation in healthcare policies reflect its dedication to addressing Japan's changing healthcare landscape. As the leading academic organization for primary care in Japan, JPCA continues to foster integrated community-based care and aims to strengthen its presence both nationally and internationally in the advancing field of primary care.
