Shared Decision Making: The 9-Item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire Does Not Discriminate Between Surgeons.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose To determine if shared decision making (SDM) scores vary between individual otolaryngologists in a large specialty clinic. Methods Consecutive patients that consented to surgery were surveyed using the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9), a validated scale for SDM. Demographic details included the respondent's age, gender, education level, marital status, whether the consent was for themselves or their child, whether surgery was for malignancy, and surgery being performed. Scores were evaluated for all demographic variables, as well as individual surgeons, surgeons' gender, age category, and subspecialty. Results A total of 233 patients completed the surveys. No significant differences were found among individual and total scores for SDM when compared among or between patient demographics (p > 0.05). A total of 10 surgeons for whom five or more SDM-Q-9s were completed were included in the study. No significant difference was found when SDM was evaluated for surgeon characteristics as well (p > 0.05). Conclusion SDM scores do not vary between these otolaryngologists.
