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

objectiveTo evaluate the user experience of the joint National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE)/Keele University Shared Decision Making (SDM) learning package.

designA qualitative study using online semistructured interviews. Data were analysed using open coding followed by the construction of themes.

settingParticipants were recruited and interviewed online via Microsoft Teams.

participantsHealthcare professionals who had used the NICE SDM learning package and provided contact details between June 2021 and April 2022 were eligible to be contacted.

interventionThe online learning package developed to support the implementation of the NICE SDM guideline.

findings12 participants from a variety of different professional backgrounds were interviewed and reported that the learning package was easy to use and the different formats for presenting the information were engaging. The package was available in discrete sections-'bitesize' chunks-which allowed the participants to fit their learning around their busy schedules. The package included virtual patients (VPs) which allowed users to practice their SDM skills and put the learning into practice. The VPs also stimulated reflection on current performance and a shift in approach to SDM in practice. Suggestions were made by participants to improve the usability and accessibility of the learning package.

conclusionThe NICE SDM learning package was viewed favourably by the participants. The bitesize structure and interactivity were key positive elements. Many participants suggested that they had made changes to their practice as a result of using the package.
