Empirical Evaluation of Veterans' Perceived Non-Concordance with Providers Regarding Medically Unexplained Symptoms.
Article in The Counseling psychologist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are common among veterans and are difficult to treat. Optimal treatment entails continued care from providers, including primary care and counseling psychologists. Non-concordance between veterans' and providers' views of MUS may contribute to poor veteran satisfaction with care and possibly disengagement with care (e.g., non-adherence to treatment recommendations, including counseling and graded exercise). The current study surveyed 243 veterans with MUS post-deployment and evaluated the degree of non-concordance perceived by veterans with their primary care providers regarding their MUS and the effect of perceived non-concordance on treatment behaviors and outcomes. Many veterans in the current sample perceived non-concordance with their provider regarding their MUS (19% reporting quite a bit or complete disagreement). Perceived non-concordance (regarding MUS overall and specific causal perceptions) predicted important outcomes of interest, particularly veterans' satisfaction with their provider. Perceived concordance with primary care doctors may be required for sufficient adherence to MUS treatment recommendations, such as seeking and maintaining psychological counseling. Research should evaluate the effect of perceived concordance with the counseling psychologist on adherence to and outcomes from counseling for MUS.
