Facilitating active participation in anticoagulant decisions in advanced kidney disease: co-production of a question prompt list.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPeople with chronic kidney disease are at increased risk of thrombotic and bleeding episodes making anticoagulant treatment decisions challenging. Currently, there are no support tools for people with chronic kidney disease regarding anticoagulant therapy decisions. This work aimed to co-produce materials to support shared-decision making when considering anticoagulant use in advanced chronic kidney disease.
methodsFocus groups were undertaken to explore the views of people with kidney disease towards anticoagulant prescribing. Data was thematically analysed based on Makoul and Clayman's model of shared-decision making. Co-production methods were used to develop a question prompt list based on themes from the focus groups in conjunction with people with kidney disease over three meetings.
resultsA question prompt list, to be used by patients when initiated on anticoagulant therapy, was co-produced. These questions were based upon participants' experiences of the various stages of shared-decision making within the context of anticoagulant use in advanced chronic kidney disease. Of particular importance to participants was the individualised discussion around treatment risks and follow up arrangements.
conclusionShared-decision making is important when initiating medication to ensure the best outcomes for patients, yet it can be difficult to engage in shared-decision making without prompts or guidance. This co-produced question prompt list could be included as part of national guideline to support shared-decision making for anticoagulant initiation in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.
