1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The patient-physician relationship has traditionally been paternalistic, in which the physician made decisions on behalf of the patient, using his or her skills to select the necessary interventions and treatments likely to restore the patient's health. In this context, the information given to the patient is selected in such a way as to encourage him to consent to the decisions of the attending physician. This definition of asymmetric or unbalanced interaction between doctors and patients has begun to be challenged in recent years, with a shift towards a more "complementary" relationship where the patient is more informed, empowered, and autonomous. Shared decision-making has been shown to have a positive impact on health care, as it guides treatment plans that better reflect patient goals, improves patient-physician communication, has a positive effect on health outcomes, and can reduce costs.
