End-of-Life Care and Advanced Directives in Hispanic/Latinx Patients: Challenges and Solutions for the Practicing Oncologist.
Review in The oncologist, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Advanced end-of-life care (EOL) comprises a group of strategies to provide comfort to patients at the end of life. These are associated with better quality of life, better satisfaction, and a lower rate of hospitalizations and aggressive medical treatment. Advanced EOL care, including advanced directives completion and hospice enrollment, is suboptimal among Hispanic/Latinx patients with cancer due to personal, socio-cultural, financial, and health system-related barriers, as well as due to a lack of studies specifically designed for this population. In addition, the extrapolation of programs that increase participation in EOL for non-white Hispanics may not work appropriately for Hispanic/Latinx patients and lead to overall lower satisfaction and enrollment in EOL care. This review will provide the practicing oncologist with the tools to address EOL in the Hispanic/Latinx population. Some promising strategies to address the EOL care disparities in Latinx/Hispanic patients have been culturally tailored patient navigation programs, geriatric assessment-guided multidisciplinary interventions, counseling sessions, and educational interventions. Through these strategies, we encourage oncologists to take advantage of every clinical setting to discuss EOL care. Treating physicians can engage family members in caring for their loved ones while practicing cultural humility and respecting cultural preferences, incorporating policies to foster treatment for the underserved migrant population, and providing patients with validated Spanish language tools.
