A Scoping Review of Multilevel Patient-Sharing Network Measures in Health Services Research.

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
Social network analysis is the study of the structure of relationships between social entities. Access to health care administrative datasets has facilitated use of "patient-sharing networks" to infer relationships between health care providers based on the extent to which they have encounters with common patients. The structure and nature of patient-sharing relationships can reflect observed or latent aspects of health care delivery systems, such as collaboration and influence. We conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed studies that derived patient-sharing network measure(s) in the analyses. There were 134 papers included in the full-text review. We identified and created a centralized resource of 118 measures and uncovered three major themes captured by them:
