[Patient centeredness and decision-making in localised prostate cancer: possible fields of health services research in urology].
Article in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundQuality of care is essential for health services research. Therefore, our patients' preferences are of major importance and this can be illustrated by decision-making in localised prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 349 patients reported on their preferred mode of decision-making, on their habits of information procurement, and on their feeling of being well informed. Moreover, we tried to objectify their actual knowledge. Their mean age was 63.0 years and mean PSA level 9.4 ng/ml. As 40% had a higher level of education we investigated possible influences of this feature by applying the chi-square test.
resultsHalf of the patients preferred to share the treatment decision and 39% wanted to choose for themselves considering their physician's recommendation. The most important sources of information were treating physicians (88%) and the Internet (77%). All patients felt well informed and 94% knew their latest PSA count. Patients with a higher level of education had better knowledge of their clinical data and used the Internet more (84 vs 71%; p=0.007).
conclusionsOur patients actively take part in medical decision-making and thereby contribute significantly to everyday health care. Based on this aspect, the whole scope of urology is developed as a promising field of health services research.
