Patient involvement in surgical treatment decisions and satisfaction with the treatment results after lumbar intervertebral discectomy.

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
purposeTo evaluate involvement of patients in surgical treatment decision making (STDM) in relations to satisfaction with the results of lumbar discectomy.
methodsWe evaluated prospectively 150 surgically treated patients with radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH). The patients completed self-reported questionnaires about preferences for involvement and actual involvement in STDM. Global satisfaction with the results of the treatment was assessed at 1 year after the operation.
resultsMost of the patients (129 patients, 86%) stated that they had been sufficiently informed about LDH to be involved in the treatment decisions, almost half of the patients (47%) preferred active or collaborative involvement and 58% of the patients reported higher actual involvement in STDM. Congruence between preferred and actual roles in decision making was 64%. Most of the patients (77%) were satisfied with the results of the operation, but satisfaction was not associated with involvement of patients in STDM.
conclusionA significant proportion of patients with LDH prefer to be actively involved in treatment decisions and experience an STDM process that matches their preferences for participation. However, individual differences in preferences for involvement in STDM are common and global satisfaction with the treatment results is not significantly related to the activity of involvement in STDM.
