Decisional conflict and regret: consequences of surrogate decision making for the chronically critically ill.
Article in Applied nursing research : ANR, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Decisional conflict may predispose surrogate decision makers (SDMs) of the chronically critically ill (CCI) to making health care decisions that are not aligned with the patient's health care preferences and increase the SDM's likelihood of experiencing decision regret. This study establishes the relationship between decisional conflict and decision regret and offers insight on tailoring decision support interventions to the preferences of SDMs of CCI patients.
