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

aimTo investigate decisional conflict among patients diagnosed with primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) or primary angle-closure (PAC) who are considering laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) treatment.

methodsA total of 111 individuals diagnosed with PACS or PAC were selected through convenient sampling from March 2023 to December 2023. These participants then completed a general information questionnaire and the Decision Conflict Scale. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression to reveal factors influencing decisional conflict.

resultsThe mean Decisional Conflict Score among patients with PACS or PAC was 48.58±10.01, with 99.1% of these individuals reporting experiencing decisional conflict. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that females (

conclusionPatients with PACS or PAC who undergo LPI treatment often encounter significant decisional conflict. Healthcare professionals should thoroughly assess a range of factors that influence this conflict, including gender, duration of disease, method of diagnosis acquisition, LPI treatment, economic burden of medical expenses, and patient preferences regarding medical decision-making. By considering these variables, tailored decision support can be developed to address individual patient needs, ultimately reducing decisional conflict and optimizing the quality of decisions made regarding treatment options.
