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.

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
This study examined the extent to which patients are willing to receive medical information about their health status and participate in medical decision-making. It also assessed the patients' satisfaction with the amount of information provided to them and their involvement in treatment decisions. Additionally, the study evaluated differences between patients' and their companions' perspectives on the necessity of informing patients about their health status. This cross-sectional study included 110 eligible patients, who were interviewed using a developed and validated questionnaire. The results revealed that Iranian patients exhibited a relatively high tendency to seek information and participate in medical decision-making. This tendency was more pronounced among women, married individuals, and patients hospitalized in private hospitals. Additionally, the companions' inclination to inform patients about their clinical condition was lower than the patients' own desire to be informed. The study concluded that doctors should create an appropriate environment for informing patients and facilitating their active participation in decisions. Furthermore, the decision regarding the extent of information provided to patients should be left to the patients themselves.
