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

Purpose: Maps out the evidence on AYA's autonomy and decision-making in healthcare settings in the United States to provide a comprehensive and synergistic understanding of the barriers, facilitators, and other salient factors that influence autonomous decision-making. Methods: This study followed the PRISMA and scoping review methodological frameworks. An electronic database search was performed using Boolean terms based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. Included studies were analyzed using narrative synthesis and thematic analysis techniques. Results: The final review comprised 31 studies. Half ( Conclusions: Studies regarding AYA autonomy have historically focused on specific patient populations in specialized healthcare areas. Researchers and practitioners can work towards creating tools to inform and assess interventions to support AYA autonomy in healthcare settings, including programs to improve care for youth.
