Centering Weight Management Clinical Decision Support in Primary Care on Patients With Obesity and Practitioners: A Proof-Of-Concept 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
Background: Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are electronic health record tools that support practitioners' decision-making at the point-of-care. CDSS may aid clinical care but are not often centered on patients or practitioners. Aims: To develop and preliminarily test a CDSS designed to support evidence-based obesity treatment, promote a patient-centered experience, and integrate with clinical workflows. Materials & Methods: The CDSS allowed patients to complete a pre-visit questionnaire via the patient portal, which activated multiple elements for the primary care practitioner (PCP). A 3-month proof-of-concept study was conducted among 10 PCPs at 5 clinics to determine usefulness, usability, and acceptability through validated surveys (mean score ≥ 2.5 signified positive outcome; max 5). Using t-tests, pre-post differences in PCPs' frequency of self-reported clinical practices (1-never; 5-always) were examined. Results: Most PCPs were physicians with mean experience of 10.8 years (SD 7.5). Overall, mean scores for usefulness, usability, and acceptability were 3.2 (SD 0.8), 3.5 (SD 0.9), and 3.6 (SD 0.9), respectively. PCPs reported significant increases in three key clinical practices-counseling on behavioral interventions (3.1 vs. 3.9 [ Conclusion: This weight management CDSS was useful and usable for PCPs and improved obesity-related practice habits. Future studies need to evaluate its impact on patient outcomes.
