Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Treatment Decision Aid: User-Centered Design Update Approach.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with significant health and societal economic burdens, making treatment a priority. There are effective treatments, but there is no indication at this point which treatments will work best for which patients. Patient decision aids (DAs) are evidence-based tools designed to support patients and providers in weighing the benefits and risks of different treatment options and in making value-informed choices as one part of shared decision-making. The National Center for PTSD published an online PTSD Treatment DA in 2017.
objectiveThis paper outlines a collaborative process for significantly updating the PTSD Treatment DA in line with newer clinical practice guidelines and updated technological needs.
methodsThe development and updating process was conducted by a small team in consultation with an expert panel and consumer input. User experience testing with people who screened positive for PTSD focused on the experience of completing specific core tasks such as comparing treatment options using the DA. Field testing included Veterans Administration patients and providers using the DA in clinical appointments to gather feedback about feasibility, satisfaction, acceptability, balance, fidelity, decisional conflict, and decisional self-efficacy.
resultsPilot field testing suggested that the PTSD Treatment DA was acceptable, satisfactory, balanced, feasible to implement, and associated with improvements in decisional conflict and in decisional self-efficacy in this small sample. Design decisions based on stakeholder feedback are described, including which treatments to include, what design format to use, how to assess preferences, and how to most effectively convey treatment effectiveness information.
conclusionsThe revised PTSD Treatment Decision Aid is freely available online and is consistent with the International Patient Decision Aid Standards.
