Article in South African family practice : official journal of the South African Academy of Family Practice/Primary Care, 2026. 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
Family physicians are uniquely positioned to lead efforts to tackle Southern Africa's persistent primary healthcare challenges, yet such leadership is often perceived as a top-down process rather than a tangible presence. Drawing on insights from the 2025 South African Academy of Family Physicians (SAAFP) conference workshop, we synthesised leadership behaviours, innovative curricula, and workplace learning approaches, aligning with Entrustable Professional Activities and national unit standards. We outline a 5-year roadmap for clinical trainers, programme leaders, and the SAAFP, including: creating psychologically safe learning environments; embedding 360° feedback; normalising mindfulness and reflective practice; and leveraging mentorship for early-career family physicians.Contribution: This Open Forum contributes to the South African Family Practice journal's 45-year special collection by reflecting on significant milestones and proposing future directions for clinical leadership and governance. Practical strategies are offered to embed leadership presence, mentorship, and a culture of feedback into training programmes and health system strengthening activities.
