Values, preferences, and informational needs of individuals living with ANCA-associated vasculitis: a systematic review.
Review in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2026. 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
Objectives: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is associated with a marked health burden and uncertainties across multiple treatment options. We aimed to complete a systematic review of previous research concerning individual values, preferences and informational needs in AAV to inform efforts to facilitate shared decision-making that can help manage this uncertainty. Methods: We conducted a qualitative systematic review with thematic synthesis of studies assessing values and preferences of individuals with AAV. We searched the CENTRAL, Medline, Embase, PsychInfo, HealthStar, CINAHL and three health decision databases for studies that assessed values, preferences, the utility of a decision aid and/or unmet informational needs for adults with AAV on 27 August 2024. The thematic synthesis approach guided our analysis. Risk of bias was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool for qualitative studies and the Risk of Bias in Studies of Values and Utilities tool for quantitative studies. Results: We identified 1038 abstracts and included 18 studies. Seven qualitative studies included at least 177 individuals; the 11 quantitative studies included 1727 individuals. Three themes emerged: 'living with AAV', focusing on self-management needs and living within a supportive environment; 'information exchange', focusing on effective sharing of information and methods of information sharing; and 'treatment of AAV', focusing on preferences and experiences regarding the benefits and harms of therapy. We did not find any studies on values and preferences regarding therapies aside from glucocorticoids and plasma exchange. Conclusion: AAV affects many aspects of lives of individuals living with it, raising multiple issues around values, preferences and informational needs. Understanding these common concerns can improve care for individuals with AAV and facilitate shared decision-making.
