Factors related to self-rated health: a survey among patients and their general practitioners.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 explore associations between general practice patients' SRH and symptoms, diagnoses, chronic conditions, unexplained conditions, and life stressors.
designA cross-sectional study. Data were collected from GP and patient questionnaires.
settingGeneral practices in Southeast Norway. SUBJECTS: 47 general practitioners (GPs) who included 866 consecutive patients.
main outcome measuresSRH was measured with a single question from the COOP-WONCA overall health chart and dichotomized into good/poor SRH. Binary logistic regression models were used in the analyses.
resultsPoor SRH was reported by 48% of the patients in the past week. A higher prevalence of poor SRH was found for women, middle-aged, recipients of social security grants, patients diagnosed with asthenia, lower back pain, and depression/anxiety, and for patients with reported life stressors and unexplained conditions. We found an almost linear association between the number of symptoms and the likelihood of reporting poor SRH. The probability of reporting poor SRH increased along with an increasing number of symptoms for common diagnoses. In a multivariate analysis, the only number of symptoms, being in receipt of social security grants and being retired was associated with poor SRH.
conclusionThe likelihood of reporting poor SRH increased with an increasing number of symptoms, partly independent of the diagnosis given by GPs. This result coincides with our previous findings of a strong association between the number of symptoms, function, and health. The symptom burden thus appears to be an important factor for SRH among patients in general practice.KEY POINTSThere is a high prevalence of poor SRH in general practice patients.The likelihood of reporting poor SRH is partly independent of the diagnosis given.The number of symptoms was the factor strongest associated with poor SRH.
