1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To convert a generic paper-based patient decision aid (PtDA) into digital format and assess its usability through α and β testing, recognizing the growing role of digital health technologies in empowering patients in shared decision-making. Patients and Methods: After a systematic PtDA development process in the period 2020-2022, the conversion process included scoping, prototyping, design, and testing phases. An α test evaluated internal usability, whereas 2 β tests explored the feasibility for breast and colorectal cancer patients preconsultation and postconsultation on adjuvant therapy using the preparation for decision-making scale. Results: Seven PtDA experts gave positive feedback on the quality of the digital PtDA in the α test. The 6 patients who participated in the preconsultation β test were positive about the purpose and ease of use of the digital PtDA and rated decision preparation on a scale of 0-100 with a mean score of 81.3, whereas the postconsultation β test with 10 patients reported an overall mean score of 72.0. The conversion involved several iterative design processes, showing potential for high adoption and uptake due to its convenience and accessibility before and after the consultation. Conclusion: The digital PtDA provides a user-friendly solution for patients. Overall, the conversion of a paper-based PtDA to a digital format proved successful, and the test results were promising. Further research is recommended to test the digital version on a large scale.
