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

backgroundGeneral practice plays a central role in healthcare delivery and holds significant potential to advance sustainability by reducing its environmental footprint and promoting population health. While Denmark has implemented national and regional strategies to enhance sustainability in hospitals and secondary care, comparable initiatives in primary care remain limited, and little is known about general practitioner (GP) views on sustainability in general practice.

aimThe aim of the study was to explore GPs' views on sustainability in general practice. DESIGN AND

settingEleven semi-structured interviews were conducted during November and December 2024 with GPs from all regions of Denmark.

methodA qualitative individual interview design using interpretative reflexive thematic analysis was used.

resultsTwo main themes were constructed (i) Making sense of sustainability: How GPs perceive sustainability in practice, with the subthemes: Abstract threat, concrete practices, Translating sustainability into clinical language, Financial sustainability as a prerequisite, and When social sustainability feels imposed; and (ii) Between responsibility and reluctance: the GP's role in a sustainable future, with the subthemes: Waiting for direction and delegation, and Forming sustainability as part of the professional identity. While most participants recognised sustainability as an important topic, they described challenges in transforming it into something manageable that could be incorporated into everyday clinical practice.

conclusionThis study underscores the need for more research and policy attention to sustainability in Danish general practice. GPs appear willing to support a sustainability transition in health care, but they require further guidance and knowledge.
