Mixed-method examination of factors associated with adolescent decision-making and involvement in care in the context of advanced cancer.
Article in Palliative & supportive care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesAdolescents with cancer often experience significant symptom burden and aggressive treatment near end-of-life. Increased adolescent involvement in care and decision-making may benefit health outcomes. Limited research has examined factors associated with adolescents' involvement in care in the context of advanced disease. Thus, we examined the impact of background factors and decision-making perceptions on both adolescents' involvement in care and their desired change in involvement.

resultsAdolescents with advanced cancer, who consider how decisions directly impact them and prefer greater autonomy, may be more involved in their medical care. Research is needed to identify other longitudinal predictors of decision-making and involvement in care. Providers should consider encouraging families to communicate their preferences and engage in shared decision-making.
