Cardiovascular disease prevention counseling in residency: resident and attending physician attitudes and practices.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study seeks to establish resident and attending physician attitudes and practice patterns with regard to cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventive counseling within a teaching hospital setting.
methodsA 75-question survey was administered to residents and their attending physicians within a single academic medical residency program at a large, urban public hospital.
resultsPhysician CVD risk factor counseling rates were lowest for exercise and diet (16% and 20%, respectively) and somewhat higher, although not ideal, for medication compliance and smoking (52% and 88%, respectively). Physicians did not often recommend behavior change strategies, and few physicians felt very effective in their counseling of smoking, exercise, diet, and weight reduction (25%, 24%, 27%, and 23%, respectively). Physicians acknowledged the existence of many patient, physician, and system barriers that interfered with providing more preventive counseling. There were few differences in counseling practices and attitudes between residents and attending physicians, and no significant gender differences.
conclusionsOur study found low counseling rates for CVD prevention, particularly in the areas of diet, exercise, and weight loss. Future interventions should highlight the importance of diet, exercise, and weight control in preventing CVD, and efforts should be directed toward training both resident and attending physicians, as counseling rates are low in both groups.
