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
introductionThe Family Adoption Program (FAP), launched by India's National Medical Commission in 2019, connects medical undergraduates with families to understand community health challenges and social determinants affecting health in Assam. The aim of the study was to evaluate FAP through Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) and stakeholder analysis at a medical college in Assam.
methodsA mixed-method evaluation was conducted among 150 MBBS students, 150 adopted families, faculty, health workers, and community leaders from June to October 2025 using validated Google Forms, interviews, and focus group discussions.
resultsAmong 150 students, 148 (98.6%) reported positive engagement and 146 (97.2%) cited the FAP as their first field-based exposure. All faculty (100%) supported FAP's Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) alignment, though four (33.3%) students noted increased workload. Healthcare workers appreciated the gains in community awareness but highlighted communication gaps and supply shortages. Families valued health education but desired continuity and access to screening tools. The SWOC analysis identified strong engagement and community acceptance as strengths, while training gaps and logistical constraints were the primary challenges.
conclusionFAP effectively develops compassionate, community-aware physicians. Structured training, essential medical supplies, clear communication protocols, and stakeholder involvement can strengthen FAP as a model for community-based medical education across India.
