Information and decision-making needs of psychiatric patients: the perspective of relatives.
Article in PeerJ, 2017. 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
backgroundMental illness may strongly affect relatives' lives. Therefore, it is important to empower relatives by providing health information according to their preferences.
methodsAn online cross-sectional survey was conducted using a purpose-designed questionnaire on online health information and decision-support needs.
resultsPrevalent reasons for online health information search of the 185 participating relatives were the need for general information and the insufficiency of the information given by the health care provider. The most difficult treatment decisions concerned the treatment setting (inpatient or outpatient) as well as the psychopharmacological treatment. DISCUSSION: Since psychiatric patients' relatives report extensive information and decision-support needs, it is essential to address their needs in health information material. Assessment of relatives' needs when developing health information materials is recommended.
