Completion of advance directives among African Americans and Whites adults.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 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
objectiveThe primary purpose of this study was to analyze the completion of advance directives among African American and White adults and examine related factors, including demographics, socio-economic status, health conditions, and experiences with health care providers.
methodsThis study used data from the Survey of California Adults on Serious Illness and End-of-Life 2019. We compared correlates of completion of advance directives among a sample of 1635 African American and White adults. Multivariate analysis was conducted.
resultsWhites were 50% more likely to complete an advance directive than African Americans. The major differences between African Americans and Whites were mainly explained by the level of mistrust and discrimination experienced by African Americans and partially explained by demographic characteristics. Our study showed that at both bivariate and multivariate levels, participation in religious activities was associated with higher odds of completion of an advance directive for both African Americans and Whites.
conclusionInterventional studies needed to address the impact of mistrust and perceived discrimination on advance directive completion. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Culturally appropriate multifaceted, theoretical- and religious-based interventions are needed that include minority health care providers, church leaders, and legal counselors to educate, modify attitudes, provide skills and resources for communicating with health care providers and family members.
