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

objectiveTo explore factors associated with the difference in score between women's and doctors' decisional conflict about hormone therapy (HT).

designSecondary analysis. SETTING AND

participantsfamily doctors were randomized to prepare women for counselling about HT using either a decision aid or a pamphlet. MAIN VARIABLES STUDIED: After each counselling session, decisional conflict was assessed in women and doctors using the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) and the Provider Decision Process Assessment Instrument (PDPAI), respectively. The difference in score between the DCS and PDPAI was computed and entered as the dependent variable in a multilevel regression analysis. MAIN OUTCOME

resultsA total of 40 doctors and 167 women were included in the analysis. The intra-doctor correlation coefficient was 0.25. Factors associated with women experiencing higher decisional conflict than their doctor were: age of doctor >45 years, women who were undecided about the best choice after the counselling session, women with a university degree and women who said that their doctor usually does not give them control over treatment decision. Factors associated with doctors experiencing more decisional conflict than women were: doctors who were undecided about the quality of the decision, length of visit <30 min and women who thought that the decision was shared with their doctor.

conclusionIn order to reduce the disparities between women's and doctors' decisional conflict about HT, interventions aimed at raising awareness of doctors about shared decision-making should be encouraged.
