Patient and Family Experiences and Support Needs in Pediatric Oral Immunotherapy Decision Making: A Multi-Stakeholder Qualitative Study in Japan.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging treatment for pediatric food allergies; however, decision support strategies in Japan remain underdeveloped and culturally nuanced. This qualitative descriptive study explored the OIT decision-making experiences and support needs of children, their parents, and healthcare professionals. Fourteen participants were recruited from 2 tertiary medical centers in Tokyo and Kanagawa. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted and thematically analyzed. Three core themes emerged: navigating complex choices by balancing safety, burden, and values; centering on the child's voice through participation, emotional awareness, and autonomy; and bridging gaps in informational, emotional, and peer support to enable shared decision making (SDM). A conceptual model grounded in the Ottawa Decision Support Framework and the Japanese cultural context illustrates how stakeholder-specific needs interact to shape the quality of decisions. This study highlights the rarely examined intersection of pediatric autonomy, clinical uncertainty, and sociocultural context. These findings underscore the need for culturally responsive and child-inclusive SDM strategies and tailored decision aids to support families navigating pediatric OIT.
