Positive health coaching: a conceptual analysis.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Positive health coaching (PHC) is a novel approach designed to address the growing need for a more holistic perspective on health to combat the rising epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCD). Extending beyond disease prevention, PHC promotes complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing, aligning with the World Health Organisation (WHO) vision of health as a resource for everyday life. This paper introduces the conceptual analysis for PHC, which emerged from the wider theoretical base of Positive Health Sciences (PHS). PHC is an interdisciplinary field that integrates medical and psychological approaches to promote a dynamic and comprehensive orientation and journey toward positive health. PHC bridges the gap between theory and practice by integrating insights and strategies from lifestyle medicine, positive psychology, health psychology, and coaching psychology. While the first three elements establish the PHS foundation of PHC, the fourth component operationalizes these theories through coaching strategies. This paper aims to guide readers on a journey from understanding the foundational principles of PHS to exploring how PHC operationalizes these concepts to promote overall health and wellbeing.
