An Evaluation of Primary Care Clinician Referrals for Behavioral Weight Loss Counseling.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04302727 (Randomized Explanatory Trial of a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Weight Loss Intervention for Primary Care Practices), 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/
objectivesIn the context of enrolling patients from primary care practices into a weight loss research study, this study describes the percentage of patients primary care clinicians (PCCs) considered appropriate for referral and study participation rates among those referred.
methodsAn electronic health record review identified 5322 patients aged 18 to 75 years with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsThe mean (SD) age was 53.1 (13.9) years, mean BMI 36.5 (6.2) kg/m
conclusionsPCCs referred 71.1% of their eligible patients. Among those referred, interest in participation was modest and enrollment was low.
