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

Parents and clinicians caring for infants with neurologic disease often make high-stakes decisions about infant care. To characterize how these decisions occur, we enrolled infants with neurologic conditions, their parents, and their clinicians in a longitudinal mixed methods study of decision making. We audio recorded family conferences as they occurred and analyzed conferences using a directed content analysis approach. We enrolled 40 infants and 61 parents who participated in 68 family conferences. Thirty-seven conferences contained a treatment decision. We identified 4 key domains of the decision-making process: medical information exchange, values-based exchange, therapeutic partnership, and integration of values into decision making. Discussion of values was typically parent initiated (n = 20, 83%); approximately one-third of conferences did not contain any discussion of parent values. Integration of family values and preferences into decision making occurred in approximately half of conferences. These findings highlight opportunities for interventions that promote values discussion and the integration of values into decision making.
