A path forward for the implementation of shared decision-making in valvular heart disease: global joint recommendations from clinicians, patients and researchers.

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) is widely endorsed in international guidelines for the treatment of valvular heart disease (VHD). Despite evidence that the process improves outcomes and does not increase the burden of consultations, SDM has not been adopted as a standard of care across regions and diverse health systems.
methodsWe conducted a 3-phase study co-led by clinicians and people with lived experience using an integrated knowledge translation approach guided by the knowledge-to-action framework. In a preparatory phase, we conducted exploratory semi-structured interviews with 19 international and diverse experts to identify barriers and enablers to SDM in VHD; we used thematic analysis to identify the major issues to inform project development. We convened an in-person meeting of patients and patient advocates (n = 9), clinicians (n = 11) and researchers (n = 3) from 10 countries to build joint recommendations. Lastly, we conducted a series of local and international meetings to validate the findings and inform future initiatives.
resultsChallenges identified included (1) concerns about clinicians' availability and time requirements, (2) uncertainty about how to practice SDM and (3) absence of regional data to evaluate SDM in VHD. The joint recommendations clustered on five global areas of focus and six sets of recommendations tailored to regional contexts and cultural norms. Final recommendations on (1) preparing patients and carers, (2) training healthcare teams and (3) creating a supportive system were further enhanced by VHD knowledge users' input in various regional settings.
conclusionsThis first report co-led by diverse stakeholders offers a practice and policy-ready roadmap to strengthen the implementation and evaluation of SDM in VHD.
