How GPs approach physical activity discussion in routine care: a qualitative study of video-recorded consultations.
Article in BJGP open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) engagement is critical for improving health and wellbeing across nearly all patient health concerns. General practitioners (GPs) are well positioned to have discussions about PA owing to the frequency with which they see their patients over long periods of time.
aimTo explore (a) how PA is discussed and (b) the types of PA that are discussed in real-world GP-patient consultations. DESIGN &
settingA qualitative descriptive study using real-world video-recorded consultations with Melbourne-based GPs.
methodSecondary analysis of 43 video consultation data from four GPs held with the Digital Library repository at Monash University, Australia. Two researchers reviewed the consultations and analysed each consultation using descriptive content analysis.
resultsFrom the total consultations (
conclusionGPs discuss PA with patients in opportunistic or systematic ways using a patient-centred approach. This study could be used as a foundation for establishing teaching resources for GPs, both in training and in professional development. Future studies could explore how PA discussions improve health outcomes over longer periods of time. This will contribute to understanding how, and if, PA is followed-up to further understand the effectiveness of these discussions.
