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
Shared decision-making (SDM) in intensive care units (ICUs) aids family decision-making and mental health; its impact on emergency management knowledge, anxiety, and mental health is unclear. In a quasi-experimental pre-post study at a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan, 60 family members of terminally ill ICU patients (30 SDM, 30 control) were enrolled. The SDM group received a three-talk model intervention (choice, options, decision talk); the control group received usual care. Emergency management knowledge, anxiety, and mental health were assessed via self-administered questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and multivariable linear regression. In the SDM group, emergency management knowledge increased from a pretest mean of 16.87 (SD 3.45) to a post-test mean of 19.33 (SD 1.49), albeit statistically significant (
