Patients' perceived involvement in clinical decision-making and associated factors among adult patients admitted at Jimma Medical Center, Oromia, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveTo assess patients' perceived involvement in clinical decision-making and associated factors among adult patients admitted at Jimma Medical Center, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2022.
designAn institution-based cross-sectional study was employed.
settingA study was conducted at a governmental tertiary teaching and referral hospital located in Jimma Zone, Oromia region, southwestern part of Ethiopia. The study was conducted between 15 July and 7 September 2022.
participantsA total of 422 randomly selected adult patients admitted at Jimma Medical Center were enrolled, after excluding those who were acutely ill during the study period.
methodsData were collected via a structured, interviewer-administered tool, entered into EpiData V.4.6 and exported to SPSS V.26 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Significant factors were declared at p<0.05.
main outcome measurePatients' perceived involvement in clinical decision-making (adequate involvement/poor involvement).
resultsA total of 51.4% (95% CI: 46.4 to 56.3) of respondents had adequate perceived involvement in clinical decision-making. Participants who were aged >60 years (adjusted OR (AOR): 2.01 (95% CI: 1.44 to 5.65)), college and above the level of education (AOR: 4.6 (95% CI: 1.6 to 13.26)), length of hospital stay >15 days (AOR: 2.8 (95% CI: 1.41 to 5.5)) and high health literacy level (AOR: 2.04 (95% CI: 1.34 to 4.21)) were more likely to be associated with adequate perceived involvement in clinical decision-making whereas non-prior hospitalisation (AOR: 0.493 (95% CI: 0.3 to 0.82)) and passive autonomy preference (AOR: 0.22 (95% CI: 0.13 to 0.37)) were less likely to be associated with adequate perceived involvement in clinical decision-making than each of their corresponding counterparts.
conclusionOnly nearly half of the respondents had adequate perceived involvement in clinical decision-making. Collaborative autonomy preferences, high educational levels, long length of hospital stay, high health literacy level and patients in the older age group were among the factors significantly associated with respondents' adequate perceived involvement in clinical decision-making. Healthcare professionals have to consider empowering patients' perceived involvement in clinical decision-making, and hospital management has to reinforce healthcare professionals' efforts to promote patients' perceived involvement in clinical decision-making.
