Effect of Palliative Care Curriculum on Serious Illness Conversation Preparedness.
Article in ATS scholar, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundA shortage of palliative pare (PC) specialists underscores the necessity that all clinicians feel comfortable with serious illness conversations (SICs).
objectiveTo assess the effect of an intensive PC curriculum with multiple teaching modalities on Internal Medicine residents' confidence with SICs and advance care planning documentation.
methodsTwelve PC modules consisting of didactic lectures, role-playing, and online interactive modules were integrated as continuing education during academic year 2018-2019. Surveys were administered precurriculum and at 3 and 6 months postcurriculum to measure the primary outcome of increasing resident preparedness for SICs. A retrospective chart review was used to analyze secondary outcomes of advance care planning documentation for patients cared for by residents exposed to the curriculum versus residents from the previous year who received monthly didactic PC lectures.
resultsPostintervention surveys demonstrated statistically significant improvement in resident confidence. An increase in patient code status confirmation rates (odds ratio, 1.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.94;
conclusionAmong residents, the incorporation of an intensive PC curriculum that uses multiple teaching modalities improves confidence in SICs, which we believe is integral to the practice of goal-concordant patient care.
