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

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify patterns of Berry's acculturation strategy and further identify the factors influencing physician trust among internal migrants. Methods: This study used a sample of 1,200 respondents of Shanghai's migrant population through an online survey (Wenjuanxing platform) from January 2021 to December 2021. K-means cluster analysis and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify acculturation strategy patterns of internal migrants and the factors influencing their physician trust in China. Results: Among the 1,117 valid respondents, 85.5% were aged 18-39 years, 51.8% (579) were male, 74.8% (836) were married, and 62.9% (703) had completed university or junior college education, 62.1% (690) were covered by urban employee medical insurance, and 46.3% (517) had an annual income of 110,000-250,000 yuan. Through K-means clustering analysis, four clusters of acculturation strategy patterns were obtained: integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization. When controlling for all significant socioeconomic and other covariates, compared to physician trust of the respondents adopting the separation acculturation strategy groups, the OR values of physician trust of the respondents adopting the integration and assimilation acculturation strategy groups were 1.979 ( Conclusion: Berry's framework delineates four acculturation strategy patterns applicable to internal migrants in Chinese megacities, and the effects of these distinct patterns on trust in physicians have been demonstrated. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of doctor-patient relationships among internal migrants in China's megacities. Therefore, it is advisable for the Chinese government to launch a combined effort from multiple stakeholders to adopt targeted interventions designed for specific demographic groups to foster greater trust in physicians among internal migrants.
