Social Isolation and Implementation of Advanced Care Planning Among Hospitalized Patients With Heart Failure.

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
Background The implementation of advance care planning (ACP) in heart failure management is insufficient. Social isolation (SI) could be a barrier to ACP initiation, albeit the relationship between SI and patients' preference for ACP or end-of-life care remains unknown. Methods and Results We conducted a questionnaire survey, including assessments of SI using the 6-item Lubben Social Network Scale as well as patients' perspectives on ACP and end-of-life care. Of the 160 patients approached by our multidisciplinary heart failure team during admission, 120 patients (75.0%) completed the survey (median age, 73.0 years; men, 74.2%). A Cox proportional hazard model was constructed to elucidate the short-term (180-day) prognostic impact of SI. Overall, 28.3% of participants were at high risk for SI (6-item Lubben Social Network Scale score <12). High-risk patients had more negative attitudes toward ACP than those without (61.8% versus 80.2%;
