The "Health Coaching" programme: a new patient-centred and visually supported approach for health behaviour change in primary care.
Article in BMC family practice, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03813381 (The Impact of a Moderate CAlorie and Protein REstriction PROgram), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 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
backgroundHealth related behaviour is an important determinant of chronic disease, with a high impact on public health. Motivating and assisting people to change their unfavourable health behaviour is thus a major challenge for health professionals. The objective of the study was to develop a structured programme of counselling in primary care practice, and to test its feasibility and acceptance among general practitioners (GPs) and their patients.
methodsOur new concept integrates change of roles, shared responsibility, patient-centredness, and modern communication techniques-such as motivational interviewing. A new colour-coded visual communication tool is used for the purpose of leading through the 4-step counselling process. As doctors' communication skills are crucial, communication training is a mandatory part of the programme. We tested the feasibility and acceptance of the "Health Coaching" programme with 20 GPs and 1045 patients, using questionnaires and semistructured interviewing techniques. The main outcomes were participation rates; the duration of counselling; patients' self-rated behavioural change in their areas of choice; and ratings of motivational, conceptual, acceptance, and feasibility issues.
resultsIn total, 37% (n=350) of the patients enrolled in step 1 completed the entire 4-Step counselling process, with each step taking 8-22 minutes. 50% of ratings (n=303) improved by one or two categories in the three-colour circle, and the proportion of favourable health behaviour ratings increased from 9% to 39%. The ratings for motivation, concept, acceptance, and feasibility of the "Health Coaching" programme were consistently high.
conclusionsOur innovative, patient-centred counselling programme for health behaviour change was well accepted and feasible among patients and physicians in a primary care setting. Randomised controlled studies will have to establish cost-effectiveness and promote dissemination.
