1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Authors sought to elucidate physician perspectives of a health psychology inpatient consultation service to refine practices in addressing physicians' and patients' needs. Invitations to participate in an anonymous online survey were sent to credentialed physicians at an academic medical center in the Midwest. Twelve survey items assessed topics such: perceptions of medical inpatients' behavioral health needs; factors affecting referrals for consultation; types of services needed; preferences for communication; confidence in making referrals to health psychology; and contributions of psychologists beyond patient care. Forty-nine physicians from 12 medical and surgical services completed the survey. Nearly half believed that hospitalized patients could benefit from psychological consultation. Physicians had varied understanding of differences between the roles and services of psychology and other disciplines that address mental and behavioral health. Barriers to referral for consultation included insufficient integration with medical teams and longer wait times to complete consultations. Physicians appreciated direct conversation with health psychology consultants to discuss recommendations for patient care versus exclusive reliance on communication in the electronic medical record. Health psychology consultation is recognized by physicians as a valuable clinical service enhancing inpatient care and as providing additional institutional (e.g., educational) benefits.
