Understanding the Role of Knowledge in Advance Care Planning Engagement.
Trial report in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
contextAdvance care planning remains underutilized. A better understanding of the role of education in promoting engagement is needed.
objectivesTo examine advance care planning knowledge and its relationship to engagement in middle-aged and older adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized baseline data from 921 participants age ≥55 years enrolled in the STAMP randomized controlled trial, including a knowledge scale consisting of seven questions regarding the purpose and mechanisms of advance care planning and measures of participation.
resultsOnly 11.9% of participants answered all 7 questions correctly, and 25.6% of participants answered ≤3 correctly (defined as "low knowledge"). Low knowledge was independently associated with male gender (odds ratio [OR] 2.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5, 3.0), non-white race (OR 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.2), older age (OR 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4, 3.4), lower income (OR 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.1), and lower education level (OR 2.9, 95% CI: 2.0, 4.1). Higher knowledge was independently associated with communicating with a loved one about quality versus quantity of life (OR 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2, 2.4) and with living will completion (OR 1.6, 95% CI: 1.0, 2.5), but not with healthcare agent assignment. Factors including race and education remained associated with engagement after accounting for knowledge.
conclusionKnowledge deficits regarding advance care planning are common and associated with the same sociodemographic factors linked to other healthcare disparities. While improving knowledge is an important component of intervention, it is unlikely sufficient in and of itself to increase engagement.
