Shared Decision-Making and Body Mass Index in Australian Antenatal Care: An Exploratory OPTION12 Evaluation.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundShared decision-making is recommended as a person-centred approach to decision-making in antenatal care. Little is known about the implementation of shared decision-making in antenatal care.
objectiveAn exploratory study to understand how shared decision-making is implemented in antenatal clinics and whether body mass index influences maternity clinicians' use of shared decision-making when providing antenatal care for women.
methodsTwenty-six antenatal clinic consultations were audio-recorded with maternity clinicians and women with body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m
resultsTwelve clinicians and 26 pregnant women were recruited to the study. The total scores ranged from 0 to 24, with a mean score of 9 and a median of 9.5 indicating low implementation of shared decision-making by clinicians and limited involvement of women in decision-making. No difference was observed in OPTION12 scores in decision-making for women by body mass index.
conclusionThis study suggests that shared decision-making is limited in the antenatal clinic setting for all women, regardless of body mass index. Further research is required to confirm the findings of this exploratory study. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The perspectives of women with body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m
