No, "evidently" and "decisively" do not have the same meaning. "Evidently" means that something is apparent or plainly seen. So it is similar to "apparently", "seemingly", or "as it turns out". Ex: I bought her some coffee but evidently, she doesn't drink coffee. Ex: He evidently didn't think the joke was very funny.
