Lifestyle management for type 2 diabetes. Are family physicians ready and willing?
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo determine practices and perceptions of family physicians regarding lifestyle interventions to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes (T2D).
designConfidential mailed survey.
settingCanadian family practices.
participantsRandom, stratified sample of 1499 respondents to the 2001 National Family Physician Workforce Survey.
main outcome measuresPhysicians' self-reported practice patterns and perceptions of lifestyle counseling for patients at risk for, and diagnosed with, T2D.
resultsResponse rate was 53% (749/1410). Respondents frequently asked patients at risk for, or diagnosed with, T2D about physical activity and weight loss, but far fewer provided written advice, particularly about physical activity. Respondents thought counseling with such interventions as generic patient handouts was preferable to more intensive lifestyle management strategies, such as appointments to provide stage-matched counseling on physical activity. Most respondents thought family physicians should perform lifestyle interventions but realized they are confounded by such barriers as patients' lack of interest and limited referral resources.
conclusionFamily physicians keen to implement lifestyle interventions for T2D are hampered by barriers and use of ineffective strategies.
