The importance of productive patient-professional interaction for the well-being of chronically ill patients.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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 investigate patient-professional interactions and identify the association between quality of care, productivity of patient-professional interaction, and chronically ill patients' well-being.
methodsQuestionnaires were distributed to chronically ill patients [T1 (2011), 2,191/4,693 (47 %) respondents; T2 (2012), 1,722/4,350 (40 %) respondents].
resultsPatients perceived a higher degree of productive interaction with general practitioners compared to other professionals. Bivariate analyses showed that patients' well-being at T2 was positively related to well-being at T1 (r = 0.70), quality of care (r = 0.12), and productive patient-professional interaction (r = 0.31; all p ≤ 0.001). Single status (r = -0.14), low education (r = -0.11), and female gender (r = -0.11; all p ≤ 0.001) were negatively associated with well-being. Multivariate analyses showed that after controlling for background characteristics and well-being at baseline quality of care is associated with patients' well-being at T2 (p ≤ 0.01). When productive patient-professional interactions were entered into the equation, they not only were related to patients' well-being (p ≤ 0.001) but also mediated the relationship between the quality of care and well-being. More productive patient-professional interactions were related to better well-being at T2 (B = 0.11), assuming that all other factors in the model remained constant.
conclusionsProductive patient-professional interactions are associated with chronically ill patients' well-being over time and mediate the relationship between well-being and quality of care. Improvement of the quality of chronic care delivery should always be accompanied by investment in the quality of relationships and communication between patients and professionals.
