Cancer Patients' Experiences of Burden when Involved in Treatment Decision Making.

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
PurposePatients are increasingly involved in decision making by their clinicians. Yet, there are concerns that involvement in decision making may cause emotional distress in patients. Little research has examined the nature of the burden experienced by patients confronted with a life-changing treatment decision. Therefore, we explored the nature and manifestations of burden experienced by patients with early-stage breast and prostate cancer regarding their involvement in decision making. We further aimed to identify patient-perceived causes and potential solutions for their experienced burden.MethodsWe used semi-structured interviews to explore the perspectives of patients with early-stage breast and prostate cancer.
