Person-Centered Multimorbidity Care in UK Primary Care: Identifying Changes to Practice.
Article in Annals of family medicine, 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
purposeGrowing numbers of people live with multimorbidity, defined as 2 or more long-term health conditions. Health care delivery must adapt to manage the growing workload and complexity associated with multimorbidity. Research, practice, and policy have called for a shift to whole-person tailored primary care management of multimorbidity but have yet to adequately describe how this should be implemented. Here, we systematically identify the enablers and barriers to delivery of tailored care for people living with multimorbidity to develop a new model for implementation.
methodsWe collected data across 5 UK general practitioner (GP) sites through 2 methods: ethnography and focus group discussions. Ethnographers observed 25 consultation sessions, 5 per site. Focus groups were held among primary care staff (n = 16, across 4 sessions) and patients and carers (n = 8, across 2 sessions). We analyzed integrated data using inductive thematic analysis to describe enablers/barriers to delivery of tailored care.
resultsWe identified 3 elements needed to enable tailored management: (1) resources for tailored assessment of, and practical support for, tailored management of multimorbidities, (2) engagement of patients/carers with professional collaboration to cocreate tailored management plans, and (3) evaluation and development of the professional skills required to confidently work beyond traditional condition-focused models.
conclusionsWhole-person tailored care needs inclusion of more services in routine primary care and change of culture toward shared decision making among multidisciplinary health care teams, patients, and carers. Such approach needs flexible consultation models and data sources enforced through monitoring and continual learning.
