Shared decision-making interventions in neuro-oncology practice: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundShared decision-making (SDM) has been shown to be beneficial to patients and improve health outcomes. While more research is being conducted on the topic of SDM, the incorporation of interventions to facilitate or improve SDM in neuro-oncology has not been widely studied. This study aimed to systematically review the types and impact of SDM interventions used in neuro-oncology.
methodsSystematic searches were conducted in Medline, Embase, Global Health, Cinahl, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception to May 2024. Full-text, peer-reviewed articles were evaluated based on inclusion criteria. Data extracted from articles included the author, year, location, type of intervention, and variable outcomes.
resultsThe searches resulted in 4674 original articles. Four studies with a total of 172 patients diagnosed with anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic astrocytoma, high-grade glioma (HGG), low-grade glioma (LGG), glioblastoma, and brain metastases met the inclusion criteria. Types of SDM interventions included SDM training for health care workers, decision grids, three-dimensional (3D) printed models of brain tumors, goals of care videos, and an online tool providing information on disease progression. Overall impact of SDM interventions resulted in improvement in patients' understanding of their medical condition, treatment options, and satisfaction with the SDM process.
conclusionSDM can be improved through the use of interventions and aids and can have a positive impact on brain tumor patients. However, there is a significant gap within neuro-oncology literature on SDM interventions. Therefore, to understand how to best improve SDM from the perspective of patients, there is a pressing need for more research on SDM interventions in neuro-oncology.
