Family Doctors' Perception of Patient Safety Issues in Rural Versus Urban Primary Healthcare Facilities.
Article in Current health sciences journal. 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
backgroundThe Republic of Moldova is an Eastern European country with the capital in Chisinau and 2,5 million inhabitants (57% rural areas).
aimTo identify differences between rural, urban and Chisinau family doctors' perception of patient safety culture and to benchmark the results.
methodsThis cross-sectional study is based on 776 responses gathered with the AHRQ MOSOPSC in 2020. Percent of positive responses (PPRs) by item and administrative area were analyzed and benchmarked against other countries.
resultsPPRs based on responses from Chisinau (45%), rural (33%) and urban (22%) primary healthcare facilities (PHFs) were ≥ 75% for 80% items and ≤50% for tree items: rush when taking care of patients, high ratio patient/personnel, inadequate capacity to handle everything effectively. Five items in urban areas had PPRs significantly lower than in the other areas: exchanging accurate, complete and timely information with hospitals (70%); level of disorganization in the office (64%); workflow problems in the office (60%), difficulty to voice disagreement (56%), insufficient staff to handle the patient load (36%).
conclusionSignificant differences were only found in urban PHFs. High shortage of resources in rural areas and free choice of family doctors by rural residents increase affluence to urban or Chisinau PHFs. Urban PHFs have less resources to cope with patient number and workflow than Chisinau and this is likely to lead to significant differences in the family doctors' perception of patient safety culture.
