[Validity of Starfield́s model in the chronic care strategies of the Canary Islands (2015-2024)].
Article in Atencion primaria, 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
objectiveTo analyse the alignment of the Plan 5C (Plan for the care of people with highly complex chronic conditions, 2024) and the Canary Islands Strategy for Tackling Chronicity (2015) with the Primary Care (PC) model according to Starfield́s four core attributes (4Cs), assessing their correspondence with the evaluation framework of the Spanish National Health System (SNS) and with the domains and items of the PCAT-A10.
designDescriptive, comparative documentary analysis.
settingCanary Islands (Spain).
participantsNot applicable. Documentary analysis study with no human subjects.
methodsThe READ method was applied to analyze both strategies and their correspondence with the 4Cs, PCAT-A10 domains, SNS indicators, and the interpretive criteria of the critical review by Minué-Lorenzo and Fernández-Aguilar (2018).
resultsBoth strategies show conceptual convergence with Starfield́s attributes, especially in comprehensiveness and coordination. The Plan 5C strengthens coordination through e-consultations, committees and specific devices. The Strategy 2015 incorporates accessibility, socio-sanitary integration and support for self-care. The selective focus on highly complex chronic patients may strain universal accessibility and continuity if the interventions are not articulated from PC. SNS indicators focus mainly on organizational processes, while the PCAT-A10 assesses PC performance from a population perspective.
conclusionsStarfield́s 4Cs remain a valid framework for analysing chronic care strategies in the Canary Islands. Although the reviewed documents partially incorporate these attributes, their application is partial and heterogeneous. Integrating institutional indicators with population-based tools such as PCAT-A10 provides complementary perspectives for evaluating PC performance.
