[Advance care planning: A qualitative investigation on patients' perspectives with advanced heart failure].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe Hospice and Palliative Care Act (2015) promotes advance care planning (ACP) for patients in nursing homes, but chronically ill patients living at home can also benefit from ACP.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to analyze the perception of ACP consultations by patients with advanced heart failure. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients (70 years and older) with advanced heart failure participated in two physician-led ACP consultations. Afterwards, two evaluative interviews were conducted with each participant. All consultations and interviews were analyzed by grounded theory considering the coding paradigm. Finally, an empirical grounded typology was conducted.
resultsA total of 30 patients participated in at least 1 ACP consultation, whereas 18 persons completed an interview. Successful ACP consultations depend not only on the discussion but also on the patient's requirements: willingness to discuss ACP, their illness, death and dying, and the experienced and preferred role in healthcare decision-making. From the patient's viewpoint ACP consultation can result in an advance directive, but an informed rejection of ACP or the creation of new assumptions for the future are also possible outcomes.
conclusionThe ACP discussions should to be aligned to patients' preferences in terms of communication and content. It is important to accept a rejection of dealing with ACP or conducting an advance directive. The patients' view needs to be integrated into future research.
