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

Introduction Shared decision-making (SDM) is a process by which patients and clinicians work collaboratively to make decisions about healthcare. Previously, research has shown that patients want to be more involved in decisions about their care, but more recent evidence suggests that some patients may not wish to have the level of involvement that is now expected of them.Aims This study therefore investigated adult orthodontic patients' preferred and perceived roles in treatment decision-making.Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out in a teaching hospital using the Control Preferences Scale (CPS). This involved asking patients to choose one of five cards relating, firstly, to their preferred role in orthodontic decision-making, and then their perceived role in their current orthodontic treatment decision-making, and these were compared.Results One hundred patients were recruited and perceived roles in decision-making tended to be more passive than those patients said they preferred. Males were significantly more likely to select a passive role than females (p = 0.018).Conclusions Adult orthodontic patients perceived a more passive role in their current treatment decisions than they would have preferred. This highlights the importance of clinicians asking patients about their preferred role in treatment decision-making from the outset.
