Development and validation of the hyperlipidemia: attitudes and beliefs in treatment (HABIT) survey for physicians.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01625884 (Observational Study to Understand Patients' and Physicians' Attitudes to Statins in TurkeY), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
introductionMany patients treated with lipid-lowering medications in clinical practice do not achieve targeted National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) goals for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), despite the proven efficacy of these medications. Understanding physician attitudes and beliefs about treating patients to goal may be useful in improving patient care and ensuring that all patients receive the benefits of treatments shown to be optimal in clinical trials.
objectiveTo develop a theoretically based, and statistically reliable and valid survey instrument for measuring the attitudes and beliefs of physicians toward hyperlipidemia and its treatment, including treatment of patients to goal. To determine whether the attitudes measured were associated with physician intentions to treat patients to LDL-C goal.
methodsWe assessed the reliability of the instrument through an examination of the internal consistency and factor structure of the constructs. Validity was assessed through zero-order correlations among the constructs and the relationship between the constructs and an intent to treat to goal case study.
resultsInternal consistency scores for the 8 constructs ranged from 0.48 to 0.75. Factor loadings indicated that the individual items belonged to their respective constructs, as hypothesized. The predictive validity of the instrument was demonstrated by significant relationships between 5 of the 8 attitudinal constructs and an intent to treat to goal case study.
conclusionsThe HABIT physician survey is the first validated instrument covering a broad set of attitudes about the treatment of hyperlipidemia that are both theoretically and empirically linked to physician intent to treat to NCEP LDL-C goal.
