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

In a lifestyle medicine context, competent health coaching requires the development of skills in inquiry. While open inquiry is emphasised, there is a broad range of inquiry types which can elicit narrative responses from a client. In the 1990s, the 'Question Cube' was conceptualised as a means of teaching therapy students ways to ask insightful questions. The elements of this model were: type of inquiry, subject and orientation. This article updates the Question Cube model to include the original 3 parameters with the addition of tense and mood. By learning the concepts of inquiry formation, students of health coaching are more able to propose thoughtful and insightful inquiries to their clients.
