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

objectiveTo investigate which treatment attributes matter to patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), why and how they matter, and the context in which patients consider treatment attributes. Nearly a quarter of older men have decisional regret following SUI treatment. Knowledge of what matters to patients when making SUI treatment decisions is necessary to improve goal-concordant care.

methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 36 men ≥65 years of age with SUI. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by telephone and transcribed. Four researchers (L.H., N.S., E.A., C.B.) coded the transcripts using both deductive and inductive codes to identify and describe treatment attributes.

resultsWe identified 5 patient-derived treatment attributes of interest among older men with SUI who have faced treatment decisions: (1) dryness, (2) simplicity, (3) potential need for future intervention, (4) treatment regret/satisfaction, and (5) surgical avoidance. These themes reliably emerged in our patient-centered interviews from within various contexts, including prior negative healthcare experiences, the impact of incontinence on daily and quality of life, and the mental health burden of incontinence, among others.

conclusionMen with SUI weigh a variety of treatment attributes in addition to dryness, a traditional clinical endpoint, and do so within the context of their individual experience. These additional attributes, such as simplicity, may run counter to the goal of dryness. This suggests that traditional clinical endpoints alone are not adequate for counseling patients. Contextualized patient-identified treatment attributes should be used to create decision-support materials to promote goal-concordant SUI treatment.
