Advance care planning among hematopoietic cell transplant patients and bereaved caregivers.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Younger, healthier patients contemplating high-risk (but potentially curative) hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) may not consider advance care planning (ACP). We investigated the effect of pre transplant ACP in surviving HCT patients and bereaved caregivers using retrospective, audiotaped telephone surveys. Subjects were identified between 2001 and 2003 via databases at two high-volume HCT centers. Transcripts were coded by two investigators, with differences resolved by consensus. HCT survivors (n=18) were interviewed a median of 13 months after HCT for acute leukemia (7), lymphoma (5) or other (6); 50% had living wills, 72% had a formal proxy. Twelve (67%) had discussed mortality risk pre HCT with the medical team. Of those, 92% felt their hope and perception of the medical team's truthfulness was increased or unchanged (I/U) by the conversation, whereas all felt clinician commitment to transplant was I/U. Bereaved caregivers (n=11) were interviewed a median of 10 months post death (median 31 days post HCT, range 13-152). Nine (82%) had discussed mortality risk pre-HCT with the medical team; 7 (78%) felt hope was I/U, all felt clinician commitment to transplant and truthfulness was I/U, and most felt ACP reduced burden (67%). ACP discussions with patients and caregivers pre-HCT did not affect hope and supported confidence in medical teams.
