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

backgroundLack of knowledge about patient preferences is a contributing factor for inappropriate therapy. Advance care planning (ACP) is a novel concept for meaningful advance directives, but it is still not widely known in Germany.

objectiveAn overview of the concept of ACP, development and its implementation with respect to intensive care is provided.

methodsA narrative literature review was performed.

resultsACP is a broad concept which requires facilitated discussions with trained medical staff. The process can lead to different ACP documents. It is also possible to facilitate discussions with patient proxies. Furthermore, ACP has potential because of the proven validity of advance directives and the prompt applicability of directives in an emergency. Prerequisites for ACP include the provision of resources, notably for the training of appropriate facilitators, and the implementation or extension of counseling structures.

conclusionsAdvanced care planning (ACP) is a promising concept. However, some requirements must be met to implement ACP into daily practice.
