Feasibility and acceptability of a web-based advance care plan for dementia.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
While advance care planning (ACP) can help elicit preferences and is associated with improved end-of-life outcomes, persons living with dementia (PLWD) in nursing homes are rarely included in ACP. Web-based decision aids are a readily available tool to engage PLWD in ACP, but none are designed for the unique needs of PLWD, particularly those residing in nursing homes. Our Memory Care Wishes (OMCW) was adapted from a publicly available web-based ACP tool in collaboration with dementia care experts. This study aimed to explore the acceptability of OMCW. We used a convergent, mixed methods design to describe PLWD and surrogates' experiences using the OMCW website. Participants described ease of use, comfort with viewing, helpfulness for planning, and likelihood to recommend. Overall, OMCW is acceptable, however, PLWD continue to have difficulties understanding and engaging with some website content. Modifications were incorporated based on these findings, setting the stage for implementation and effectiveness testing.
