Introducing a Supportive Care Team for Advance Directive Education in a Neurological and Neurosurgical Patient Population.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2020. 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
backgroundPatient-centered care includes delineation of patient treatment values (ie, advance care planning [ACP]). Advance care planning often includes advance directive (AD) completion and is underutilized, particularly among neurology and neurosurgery patients. Implementation of a supportive care team (SCT) in outpatient clinic settings may offer opportunities for AD education and completion.
objectiveThis study assesses the effectiveness of an integrative SCT composed of hospice volunteers and undergraduate quality improvement interns in their efforts to provide ACP education in neurological and neurosurgical outpatient clinics. Assessment includes a description of different types of SCT-patient encounters, as well as patient interest in and completion of ADs after interacting with the SCT.
resultsAcross the data collection period, 2770 encounters were initiated. The majority of encounters resulted in patient ACP education. Some patients completed ADs during their SCT encounter (3.45%) or after their SCT encounter (10.18%).
conclusionThe SCT effectively enhances ACP education in this patient population. The utilization of trained interns to assist with ACP is beneficial and practical in clinic workflow.
