Predictors of high-performing family medicine clinics: Prospective cohort study in Alberta.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 identify potential risk and protective factors associated with family medicine (FM) and general practitioner (GP) group performance.
designProspective cohort study of FM and GP clinics in Alberta, using a Group Practice Review (GPR) framework.
settingFM and GP clinics operating in Alberta between 2017 and 2019.
participantsSeventy randomly selected FM and GP clinics.
interventionsClinics were observed and assessed as part of the GPR. Group performance was assessed based on compliance with applicable College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) standards of practice (SOPs). Data on physicians' demographic characteristics, practice characteristics, chart scores, and prescribing information were collected from CPSA databases and self-reports.
main outcome measuresPredictors of high-performing clinics, defined as meeting 90% or more of applicable SOPs, were identified using logistic regression.
resultsFour key predictors of group performance (SOP compliance) were identified: prescribing practices, number of workdays per week, number of physicians, and chart scores. Clinics with higher rates of risky prescribing and heavier workloads were less likely to comply with SOPs, while clinics with more physicians and higher chart scores were more likely to be classified as high performing.
conclusionThis study is among the first to examine predictors of group performance in FM and GP group practices. Findings highlight the importance of monitoring prescribing behaviour, workload, and chart scores at the clinic level to support physicians and protect patients.
