Readiness for advance care planning and its relationship to coping style in patients with chronic diseases in communities: A cross-sectional study.

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
aimThis study aimed to assess advance care planning readiness among patients with chronic diseases and identify its relationship to patients' coping styles.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsPatients with chronic diseases (N = 168) were recruited from community health service centres. We used a self-designed and validated "advance care planning readiness questionnaire" to measure the patients' advance care planning readiness and a "simplified coping style questionnaire" to measure the patients' coping styles.
resultsMultiple linear regression analyses observed a positive relationship between "active coping style" (p = .002, 95%CI: 1.788, 7.599) with ACP readiness and a negative relationship between "passive coping style" (p < .001, 95%CI: -10.526, -4.274) with ACP readiness. Our study showed that there was a clear relationship between coping styles and ACP readiness. We suggest encouraging patients to choose more active coping strategies and to explore suitable conversation strategies for different coping styles when facilitating ACP discussion.
