Procedural Fairness in Physician-Patient Communication: A Predictor of Health Outcomes in a Cohort of Adults with Overweight or Obesity.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore whether patients' perception of procedural fairness in physicians' communication was associated with willingness to follow doctor's recommendations, self-efficacy beliefs, dietary behaviors, and body mass index.
methodsThis was a secondary analysis of baseline data from 489 primary care patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
resultsSerial, multiple mediator models indicated that higher procedural fairness was associated with an increased willingness to follow recommendations which, in turn, was associated with healthier dietary behaviors and a lower BMI (indirect effect = - .02, SE = .01; 95% CI [- .04 to - .01]). Additionally, higher procedural fairness was associated with elevated dietary self-efficacy, which was, in turn, was associated with healthier dietary behaviors and lower BMI (indirect effect = - .01, SE = .003; 95% CI [- .02 to - .002]).
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of incorporating procedural fairness in physician-patient communication concerning weight management in diverse primary care patients.
