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
backgroundThe study developed a decision aid (DA) for Malaysian breast cancer survivors considering breast reconstruction post-mastectomy. The DA aims to improve patient engagement and decision-making, addressing the lack of resources for non-Western populations and providing women with the knowledge and confidence needed for personalized and satisfactory treatment decisions.
methodsThe DA utilized Kelly's framework for the development and testing of our decision aid for women considering breast reconstruction post-mastectomy. The DA was developed and evaluated in two phases. The first phase included the development of the DA with input and review by a multidisciplinary panel of experts and healthcare professionals. The second phase involved assessment of the finalized PDA for feasibility and acceptability within the target demographic, utilizing pre- and post-exposure questionnaires to gauge its impact on participants' decision-making processes.
resultsThe phase 1 results of the study indicate that the DA has been positively accepted, with the majority of health experts and patients rating the provided information as good or excellent. The results also showed decisional conflict decreased significantly (p < 0.001), and knowledge increased significantly (p < 0.001) among participants from before using the DA to 2-3 weeks after its use.
conclusionsOur DA is feasible and acceptable to women considering breast reconstruction. Furthermore, the DA effectively reduces decisional conflict and increases knowledge about breast reconstruction. The DA is an appropriate tool to be used in addition to standard care in women considering breast reconstruction.
