Impact of Patients Decision Aids on Shared Decision-Making and Patient Satisfaction Prior to Pelvic Floor Surgery.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveEvaluate usability and utility of National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) Patient Decision Aid's (PtDA's) for pelvic floor surgery. PtDA's reviewed were uterine prolapse, vault prolapse and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
designTen women given the PtDA's during routine clinical care were recruited from each cohort and underwent a semi-structured interview with a clinical researcher.
settingUrogynaecology outpatients in an NHS tertiary teaching hospital. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Women considering surgical management of uterine/vault prolapse or SUI. Exclusion criteria included those under 18, unable to communicate in English or not eligible for all surgical options discussed in the PtDA's.
methodsA qualitative, semi-structured interview evaluating women's opinions of the decision aid and the way in which they utilised the PtDA was conducted. The interviews were recorded and transcribed prior to undertaking thematic analysis utilising NVivo software.
main outcome measureThe outcomes of interest were feedback for content, language, format and usage of the PtDA's and women's usage of PtDA's in decision-making.
resultsAmendments suggested included removal of mesh from the SUI PtDA as this is not routinely available on the NHS and addition of a statement regarding the use of mesh in prolapse surgery. Additional anatomical diagrams were suggested. The need for a robust and regular update system was highlighted as was the provision of foreign language, audio and electronic versions.
conclusionsPtDA's need updating to ensure relevant content. Clear, detailed and relevant information is required alongside active clinician engagement to reach a mutually agreeable treatment plan.
