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

contextStress and urgency urinary incontinence (UI) significantly impact the quality of life of women worldwide. The complexity of treatment options calls for robust decision support tools to guide informed, patient-centered care.

aimThis scoping review maps best practices in the development, implementation, use, evaluation, and reported outcomes of patient decision aids (PDAs) for adult women with stress and/or urgency urinary incontinence.

methodComplementary literature searches (2000-2024) were conducted between March 2023 and May 2024 using scientific databases and gray literature. The first focused on general PDA, the second on PDAs specific for women with stress and/or urgency UI. Selected documents were analyzed using standardized extraction grids; inter-rater agreement ensured validity.

resultsFourteen literature reviews and six studies specifically about PDAs for women with stress and/or urgency UI were selected. PDAs were reported to improve patient knowledge, reduce decisional conflict, and support shared decision-making. Key facilitators of PDA development and implementation include involving patients and healthcare professionals, adapting tools for diverse needs, clinician training, clear guidelines, regular updates, and multiformat accessibility. Barriers include time constraints, limited access, comprehension difficulties, individual preferences, media influence, and organizational challenges. Addressing these factors through tailored design, improved access, and targeted training is important for successful adoption and implementation of PDAs in this context.

conclusionPDAs represent a valuable tool for supporting decision-making for women with stress and/or urgency UI. Future research should address long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and strategies to tailor PDAs to diverse patient needs, ultimately enhancing patient-centered care and adoption in practice.
