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

objectiveQuality communication is an important aspect of advance care planning (ACP). This study evaluates a certification program that trains lay people in communication skills to support community-based ACP conversations.

methodsThe program was developed with an emphasis on communication skills training. The testing of the program included ACP Guides and conversation partners, who were hospice volunteers, to assess the use of communication skills in ACP conversations. The evaluation used direct observations of conversations between trained ACP Guides and conversation partners as well as semi-structured interviews with those trained to become ACP Guides and those participating in the conversation.

resultsTwenty-two ACP Guides participated in the testing phase with a retention rate of 100% completing all 4 sessions. The RELATE model of communication emerged during program development and testing. Evaluation of 15 ACP Guides having ACP conversations found that trained ACP Guides could use the RELATE model of communication to support ACP conversations.

conclusionA community-academic partnership developed an ACP Community Guides Program that trained individuals to have community-based ACP conversations. Next steps include additional testing of the program and RELATE in small numbers, especially among minority populations, to evaluate acceptability and usability of this approach. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Laypersons with concrete communication skills can facilitate effective peer-to-peer ACP conversations.
