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
Lung cancer patients generally receive several information regarding their illness characteristics and available intervention. Therefore, patients can experience confusion, leading to anxiety and distress that might damage the relationship with physicians and treatment adherence. Literature showed that implementing decision aid tools during consultation can promote patients' knowledge and awareness about lung cancer and available oncological intervention, improving a shared decision-making process. However, not all lung cancer patients always appreciate decision aids' implementation. The present qualitative study explored patients' opinions and preferences regarding the implementation of decision aids during medical consultation. Twenty-two lung cancer patients who have already attended medical consultations for lung cancer voluntarily participated in four online focus groups carried out between January 2023 and December 2024. A thematic analysis with a bottom-up approach highlighted three main themes: the typology and number of information that patients would have received, the relevance of patient-and-doctor relationship, and the effects of providing additional decision-making tools on patients' emotions and preferences. Findings showed controversial opinions among patients, highlighting the relevance of personalized intervention tailored to patients' preferences. Practical implications are given.
