1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the effects of Shared Decision-Making (SDM) using Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) primary on patients' perception of Decisional Conflict (DC), which measures patients' engagement in and satisfaction with clinical decisions, and secondary on working alliance and treatment outcomes.

methodMulti-centre two-arm matched-paired cluster randomised-controlled trial in Dutch specialist mental health care. SDM using ROM (SDMR) was compared with Decision-Making As Usual (DMAU). Outcomes were measured at baseline (T0) and 6 months (T1). Multilevel regression and intention-to-treat analyses were used. Post hoc analyses were performed on influence of subgroups and application of SDMR on DC.

resultsSeven teams were randomised to each arm. T0 was completed by 186 patients (51% intervention; 49% control) and T1 by 158 patients (51% intervention, 49% control). DC, working alliance, and treatment outcomes reported by patients did not differ significantly between two arms. Post hoc analyses revealed that SDMR led to less DC among depressed patients (p = 0.047, d =- 0.69). If SDMR was applied well, patients reported less DC (SDM: p = 0.000, d = - 0.45; ROM: p = 0.021, d = - 0.32), which was associated with better treatment outcomes.

conclusionExcept for patients with mood disorders, we found no difference between the arms for patient-reported DC. This might be explained by the less than optimal uptake of this generic intervention, which did not support patients directly. Regarding the positive influence of a higher level of applying SDM and ROM on less DC and better treatment outcomes, the results are encouraging for further investments in patient-oriented development and implementation of SDMR.
