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

introductionTreatment decision making can be complex and challenging for people with haemophilia (PwH) and their caregivers. A shared decision-making (SDM) approach can ensure that decisions about treatment and care incorporate patients' beliefs, values, and preferences.

aimsThe aims were to: (1) identify potential drivers and barriers to SDM between PwH/caregivers and clinicians, (2) develop tools to facilitate SDM in clinic appointments, and (3) gain feedback on the usability and design of these tools to inform refinements.

methodsVirtual focus groups were conducted with adolescent and adult PwH, caregivers of children with haemophilia, and physicians and allied health professionals (AHPs) across Canada to inform the development of tools to support SDM in clinical appointments. The usability and acceptability of the tools were examined in one-to-one interviews. These findings were used to further refine the tools.

resultsThematic analysis from five focus groups (n = 23) identified broad themes pertaining to barriers of SDM, factors influencing treatment decisions, and strategies to facilitate SDM. Insights were used to develop an Appointment Planner including pre-appointment questions and priority setting for PwH/caregivers and a Conversational Prompt Guide including considerations for clinicians. The findings of one-to-one interviews (n = 25) indicated good usability and acceptability and informed minor refinements to the tools.

conclusionThe study demonstrates the acceptability of specific tools to facilitate SDM based on qualitative research with the target populations. Initial feedback was positive. Further research is required to assess whether the tools can facilitate SDM by improving communication and strengthening relationships between PwH/caregivers and clinicians.
