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

purposeExploring the shared decision-making inputs and needs of families (parents and adolescents) about returning to sport after recovering from a sports-related concussion.

methodsIndividual interviews were conducted separately with members of 8 adolescent-parent dyads (n = 16). All adolescent participants had been diagnosed with a sports-related concussion in the past 2 years and received tertiary sports medicine care.

resultsAdolescents saw themselves as the decision-maker within the parent-clinician-adolescent triad, and parents relied on clinicians to affirm that adolescent preferences were "safe." Adolescents were largely focused on short-term benefits of returning to sport, assumed that their parents were asking clinicians the "right questions" about safety, and, in many cases, did not have what they considered to be viable alternative activities to the sport where they were injured. Parent beliefs about the benefits of sport, including the role of sport in their child's identity and the importance of sport-related goals, helped explain parent preferences for their child's return to play. DISCUSSION: Parents and adolescents had different decision inputs, and there was interdependence within families in how decision needs were met. Additional research is needed with more representative samples to further explore this complexity and how it can inform shared decision-making theory and practice.
