[Stated theory of family doctors on their relationships with patients].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify and analyse the "theory" expressed by family doctors on the essential features of an effective and functional doctor-patient relationship and on how to achieve one ("stated theory" of Argyris and Schon).
designQualitative, based on discourse analysis.
settingPrimary care.
methodInterviews recorded with 10 family doctors selected by intentional sampling that were then transcribed. The propositions in the discourses were identified and conceptual maps were constructed. An inductive analysis classified the questions and positions that emerged and identified similarities and differences between subjects.
resultsConfidence and absence of conflict were the main desirable features of the doctor-patient relationship. Patients with a "demanding" attitude and their dishonesty were the most quoted obstacles. Doctors accepted negotiation, but held a very limited view of patient participation. Differences were appreciated on distance, the biomedical versus psychosocial focus and health education. Doctors' communication skills and qualities were little cited. Technical terminology in this area appeared little in the discourses.
conclusionsDiscourses highlighted "health consumerism" and revealed disagreements on distance in the relationship and the psycho-social approach. These points, which should be prioritised in training, along with education, can serve to define family doctors distinct professional orientations. Training methodology must bear in mind that experience dominates "stated theory" in this area.
