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
Background: Primary care general practitioners (GPs) serve as the cornerstone of primary health service delivery, and enhancing their clinical competencies is essential to addressing the growing demand for community-based healthcare. Purpose: This study evaluated the implementation outcomes of a 16‑week in‑service continuing professional development (CPD) programme-the Theory‑Clinical‑Community (TCC) three‑stage training-and focused on participants' satisfaction, development of self‑perceived confidence, and suggestions for programme optimisation. Patients and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted among 111 primary care GPs from county and township health institutions who completed five consecutive training cohort at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province (China) from July 2022 to January 2025. Demographic data, training satisfaction, self-assessed improvements in core clinical competencies, and suggestions regarding rotation duration and department composition were collected via an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis. Results: Overall satisfaction with the training model reached 100% (94.6% reported "very satisfied"). Regarding self-assessed competency improvement, over 87% of participants reported "significant progress" in the diagnosis and management of common and frequent diseases, chronic disease management, and rational medication use in community settings. Regarding optimization suggestions, 67.6% of participants considered the current department configuration adequate, while some proposed the inclusion of auxiliary examination departments (9.0%) and traditional Chinese medicine/rehabilitation departments (6.3%). Conclusion: The TCC three-stage training model is feasible and has been highly recognised by primary care GPs, with significant self-perceived confidence development reported across most competency domains. Based on participants' self-assessments, this study offers preliminary insights for refining competency-based training systems for primary care GPs.
