Factors influencing shared decision-making and decision regret in parents of children undergoing myopia control within one year.

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
backgroundChildhood myopia is highly prevalent in East Asia, where treatment decisions are typically made by parents. Although effective interventions are available, little is known about how parental knowledge and involvement influence decision quality. This study examined the relationships among parental knowledge, shared decision-making (SDM), and decision regret in parents of children with myopia, and assessed how treatment type and follow-up behaviors affect decision-making experiences.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 314 parents of children newly diagnosed with myopia. Data were collected using an online questionnaire that captured demographic and clinical characteristics, treatments received by the children, parents' knowledge of myopia control, SDM, and decision regret. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of decision regret.
resultsShorter follow-up intervals (≤ 6 months), higher parental knowledge, and the use of orthokeratology were significantly associated with lower decision regret, whereas atropine therapy was associated with higher regret. However, when SDM was included in the final model, treatment type was no longer a significant predictor, and SDM emerged as the strongest negative predictor of regret (unstandardized regression coefficient [B] = -0.410, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-0.507, - 0.314], p < .001). This attenuation suggests that the observed relationship between treatment type and decision regret may be partly explained by differences in SDM, potentially reflecting more extensive consultation and engagement in certain modalities such as orthokeratology. The final model explained 27.4% of the variance in decision regret.
conclusionsSDM plays a critical role in reducing parents' decision regret, regardless of the treatment modality. Enhancing communication about treatment options, particularly atropine therapy and axial length monitoring, may support more informed and satisfactory decision-making. The development of longitudinal studies and SDM tools tailored for parents with lower literacy is recommended to strengthen treatment adherence and improve clinical outcomes.
