Shared Decision Making in Home Hospice Nursing Visits: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
contextShared decisions between health care providers and patients and families are replacing the traditional physician-driven plans of care. Hospice philosophy recognizes the patient and family as a unit of care and embraces their role in decision making.
objectiveThe goal of this study was to evaluate the shared decisions between hospice nurses and patients and family members.
methodsA secondary analysis of audio recordings of 65 home hospice nurse visits from 65 home hospice nurse visits in 11 different U.S. hospice programs.
resultsTo varying degrees, hospice nurses used all the recommended elements of shared decision making during home visits with patients and families; however, not all elements were used in every visit. The most commonly used element was defining a problem, and the least used element was the assessment of patient and family understanding.
conclusionsHospice staff can benefit from a more purposeful shared decision-making process and a greater focus on assessment of patient and family understanding and ability to implement plans of care.
