A multidisciplinary simulation programme to improve advance care planning skills and engagement across primary and secondary care.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundIn the context of an ageing population, many healthcare professionals have limited experience and confidence in having necessary advance care planning (ACP) conversations.
methodsWe conducted nine half-day simulation sessions, using professional actors. One-hundred and thirty-two participants attended from multidisciplinary backgrounds across primary and secondary care.
resultsFollowing the course, 90.2% felt confident or very confident initiating conversations, compared with 14.4% beforehand. Understanding of when ACP is appropriate also increased from 70% to 100%. Post-course, 98% of participants stated that they would be more likely to initiate an ACP. Three months later, 86% had a sustained change in practice. All participants said they would recommend this simulation course and multidisciplinary approach.
conclusionMultidisciplinary simulation training is an effective way to teach ACP to doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals. The simulation was shown to improve participant understanding, confidence and reduce barriers to discussions, both immediately and 3 months later.
