Satisfaction with primary care provider involvement is associated with greater weight loss: Results from the practice-based POWER trial.

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 evaluate the association between the patient-provider relationship, satisfaction with primary care provider's (PCP) involvement and weight loss in a practice-based weight loss trial.
methodsPOWER was a practice-based randomized controlled behavioral weight loss trial. Participants completed questionnaires about patient-provider relationship and satisfaction with their PCPs' involvement in the trial. PCPs completed a demographics and practice survey. The main outcome was the mean weight change from baseline to 24 months. We created mixed-effect models, accounting for the random effects of patients clustering with the PCP and the repeated outcome assessments within patient over time, and adjusted for randomization assignment, age, gender, race and clinical site.
results347 (of 415) were included. Mean age was 54.8 years, mean BMI was 36.3 kg/m(2). Participants reported high quality patient-provider relationships (mean summary score=29.1 [range 14-32]). Patient-provider relationship quality was not associated weight loss in either the intervention or control groups. Among intervention participants, higher ratings of the helpfulness of the PCPs' involvement was associated with greater weight loss (p=0.005).
conclusionPatient-provider relationship quality was not associated with weight loss in a practice-based weight loss trial but rating PCPs as helpful in the intervention was associated with weight loss. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Partnering with PCPs to deliver weight loss programs may promote greater participant satisfaction and weight loss.
