General Practitioners practice nurses and parents' perspectives on childhood overweight management - a qualitative study.

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
backgroundOverweight and obesity in children is a major health problem. General practice might be a promising setting for identifying and for the first steps in the management of overweight and obesity in children.
objectiveTo explore opinions, needs and preferences about the role of general practice in the management of overweight and obesity in children from the perspectives of Dutch general practitioners (GPs), practice nurses (PNs) and parents of children with and without overweight.
methodsA qualitative study using semi-structured focus group interviews. GPs and PNs were recruited from general practices from the region South-Western. Parents were mainly recruited via social media and primary schools. Twenty-five GPs, seven PNs and 18 parents were interviewed. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed.
resultsGPs, PNs and parents agreed that it is the task of the GP to identify, address and refer children with overweight and obesity. However, GPs find it difficult to start this conversation due to time constraints; fear for the reaction of parents and children; lack of clarity about treatment and referral options. Parents indicated they are open to a conversation if the GP is non-judgmental, honest and respectful. PNs saw no role in managing overweight and obesity in children.
conclusionAlthough GPs experience several barriers, GPs, PNs and parents all agreed that GPs should play a role in identifying, addressing and referring children with overweight and obesity. Supportive tools are required for GPs in order to play this role.
