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

introductionIn pediatric surgery, proxy decision-makers are frequently involved in treatment planning and may experience decisional conflict (DC). Shared decision-making (SDM) approaches may be effective to remedy DC. This study investigates DC and SDM involvement in elective pediatric penile surgery.

methodsForty-four parents of children aged <8 years undergoing elective penile surgery consultations at a tertiary pediatric hospital were prospectively enrolled. Patient and physician questionnaires were used to assess the SDM process and the SURE (Sure of myself; Understand information; Risk-benefit ratio; Encouragement) screening test was used to assess DC.

resultsThirty-seven (84.1%) mothers and seven (15.9%) fathers were enrolled for circumcision (n=33, 75.0%) and distal hypospadias repair (n=11, 25.0%) consultations, with 21 (47.7%) choosing to proceed with surgery. Seven (15.9%) participants experienced clinically significant DC. Participant gender was not associated with higher levels of DC (p=0.318). The average patient and physician SDM scores were 88.2±10.0 and 85.3±7.4, respectively, with no correlation found between participant and physician perception of SDM involvement (p=0.168, p=0.276). DC was significantly associated with lower participant and physician ratings of SDM.

conclusionsThere was a high perception of SDM involvement by both parents and pediatric urologists regarding elective penile surgery. Of the 15% of parents experiencing DC, there was an association with lower participant and physician levels of SDM involvement. Despite high SDM scores overall, discrepancies exist between the perceived physician and participant SDM involvement.
