Needs, Preferences, and Values during Different Treatment Decisions of Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07584447 (Clinical Utility of Preoperative Thyroid GuidePx® Testing), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to identify the needs, preferences, and values of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and the physicians treating patients with DTC regarding two different treatment decisions, namely: the extent of primary surgery (low-risk patients) and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment (high-risk patients).
methodsA qualitative study was conducted. There were two physician focus groups discussing the extent of primary surgery. One included endocrinologists (n = 4) and surgeons (n = 5), and the other included nuclear medicine physicians (n = 3) treating patients with low-risk DTC. The physicians focus group discussing waiting or starting TKIs included endocrinologists (n = 2) and oncologists (n = 5) treating patients with advanced radioactive iodide (RAI) refractory DTC. Moreover, one patient focus group per treatment decision took place. In total 13 patients and 19 physicians participated. Interviews were audio-taped, fully transcribed verbatim, and analyzed.
resultsSeveral themes were identified. Patients, but not physicians, mentioned the importance of a strong doctor-patient relationship. Patients in both treatment decision groups wanted to receive more detailed information, whereas physicians preferred providing more general information. Patients in the TKI decision group focused on palliative care, whereas physicians focused more on the effect and benefit of TKIs.
conclusionsConsidering the identified themes in DTC, based on the patients' needs, preferences, and values, enables us to improve doctor-patient communication and to develop decision support tools.
