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

In January 2025, the Ministry of Health and Social Services commissioned an independent expert panel to make recommendations to guide the first government policy addressing the primary care crisis in Quebec. Conducted over a period of 4 months, this work combines a targeted literature review, 59 consultations with more than 200 stakeholders, and a provincial forum to develop recommendations grounded in evidence and local realities. Findings from the consultations revealed a fragmented, hospital-centred system characterized by inequitable access and insufficient continuity. The expert committee formulated six coherent and locally adaptable key recommendations aligned with international best practices. This provides a pragmatic and comprehensive roadmap to strengthen primary care in Quebec through interdisciplinary teams, territorial governance, protected and dedicated funding, data infrastructure, and user involvement. A concrete action plan is essential to achieve the proposed vision, which will require time, consistency, and structured planning.
