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

Ethical requirements of informed consent stipulate that patients approached to participate in a clinical trial be provided with written information that must cover key aspects of the trial. For consent to be deemed "informed", potential participants should be provided with a range of information about the trials (e.g., the trial aims, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the trial, and their right to withdraw consent at any time). However, it is well documented that simple provision of this information does not ensure that participants make truly informed decisions. Decision aids, tools that have been shown in a treatment and screening context to support better-quality decisions, are emerging as a possible vehicle to support decision making about trial participation. However, information on how they should best be developed and evaluated in a clinical trial context is lacking. Therefore, this article, drawing on theoretical and empirical insights, outlines a framework for the development and evaluation of decision aids for people considering taking part in a clinical trial.
