Provider Advice and Patient Perceptions on Weight Across Five Health Systems.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02456090 (PaTH Clinical Data Research Network), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
introductionTo improve the management of overweight and obesity in the primary care setting, an analysis of patient perceptions of weight status and predictors of weight loss attempts for those with overweight and obesity is needed.
methodsPrimary care patients (n=949) across 5 health systems in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. were surveyed in 2015; data analysis was performed in 2018. Survey data was combined with data via the electronic health record to understand patients' perceptions of weight, factors associated with weight loss efforts, and provider counseling practices.
resultsMost participants with overweight or obesity perceived themselves as weighing too much and reported trying to lose weight. Furthermore, most participants with obesity reported receiving advice to lose weight by a provider in the past 12 months. However, less than half of patients with overweight reported receiving advice to lose weight, maintain weight, or develop healthy eating and physical activity patterns from a health professional in the past 12 months. Among participants with overweight and obesity, multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the perception of being overweight and receiving healthcare advice to lose weight had the highest odds of reporting attempted weight loss (OR=5.5, 95% CI=2.7, 11.2 and OR=3.9, 95% CI=1.9, 7.9, respectively).
conclusionsThe findings emphasize the importance of provider attention to weight management counseling and identifies patients with overweight as needing increased attention by providers.
