Evidence-to-Decision Frameworks: Enhancing the Quality and Rigour of Guidelines and Recommendations.
Article in Clinical and public health guidelines, 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
The journey of guidelines being informed by evidence is less than 50 years old, but it has seen notable advances documented in various publication series and led by key organizations.Although Evidence-to-Decision (EtD) frameworks were officially born in 2016, since the early 2000s, groups like GRADE had begun to formulate key determinants of the recommendation-formulation process.The EtD frameworks started with criteria such as the balance between desirable and undesirable outcomes, values and preferences, and resource use. Nowadays, they are extended to cover criteria like planetary health, human rights, and socio-cultural acceptability.Experiences with the use of EtD frameworks are generally positive; they are flexible, facilitate multidisciplinary discussions, and bring rigor and transparency to the guidelines.More guidance is required on how to use EtD frameworks, as well as more research to understand how they can lead to better guidelines, and more recently, how artificial intelligence can responsibly help navigate this path.
