Perceptions of the medical relevance of patients` stories of painful and adverse life experiences: a focus group study among Norwegian General Practitioners.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeAdverse life experiences increase the risk of health problems. Little is known about General Practitioners' (GPs') thoughts, clinical concepts, and work patterns related to eliciting, including, or excluding their patients' stories of painful and adverse life experiences. We wanted to explore GPs' perceptions of the medical relevance of stories of painful and adverse life experiences, and to focus on what hinders or facilitates working with such stories.
methodEighteen Norwegian GPs participated in three focus group interviews. The interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
resultsThe participating GPs' views on the clinical relevance of patients' painful and adverse experiences varied considerably. Our analysis revealed two distinct stances: a
conclusionsClearer processes for handling biographical information and life experiences that affect patients' health are needed to facilitate the work of primary care physicians.
