Exploring Key Elements of Surgical Shared Decision Making for Providers and Older Adults.
Article in MDM policy & practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Highlights: Critical components of shared decision making (SDM) identified in this study include understanding patient values, building trust, understanding the patient's baseline function, and defining possible treatment outcomes.Specific components of SDM in older adults include navigating companions to conversations and the challenges of navigating potential postoperative changes to cognitive or physical function.Possible areas to improve SDM include improved dissemination of SDM resources; the importance of communication skills and empathy and an emphasis on additional training for this, particularly for trainees; improved engagement of patients in the SDM process; and using other care team members such as palliative care and social work when appropriate.
