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
BackgroundIncorporating clinician and patient perspectives in the measurement of shared decision making (SDM) is aligned with SDM's inherently dyadic nature. There are no tools measuring SDM in pediatrics from multiple perspectives. The objective of this study was to develop a tool to measure SDM from the perspectives of both clinicians and parents of young children.DesignWe used a stepwise iterative approach to tool development beginning with de novo item generation and followed by augmentation of the item pool by adapting items from existing instruments. After the study team removed redundant items, 3 parents and 3 SDM experts rated the remaining items for their ability to capture SDM in pediatrics; items with the lowest mean ratings were removed. To assess the preliminary tool's face validity, usability, and item understandability, we pretested it, revising it iteratively, with sequential cohorts of English-speaking parents and clinicians from 2 US children's hospitals.ResultsWe generated an initial list of 28 items for the parent and clinician versions of the tool, which we reduced to 20 items after preliminary review. After review by parents and SDM experts, we cut 9 items and added 1 additional item for a total of 12 items. We pretested the preliminary tool with 31 clinicians and 30 parents across 3 sequential cohorts. The final tool contained 12 items and an optional free-text item.LimitationsAll participants were English speaking, limiting its generalizability.ConclusionsWe have developed a usable preliminary tool for measuring the dyadic process of SDM in pediatrics.ImplicationsThis tool represents an important first step toward addressing the measurement of SDM in pediatrics from multiple perspectives.HighlightsIn this study, we have developed the first shared decision making (SDM) tool specifically for use with parents of young children.Although further study is needed to determine the psychometric properties of this tool, it has the potential to address an important gap in our ability to measure SDM in pediatrics from multiple perspectives.
