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
objectivesLatino patients have been shown to engage in advance care planning (ACP) at much lower rates than non-Latino White patients. Coping strategies, such as the use of emotional support, may differentially relate to engagement in ACP among Latino and non-Latino patients. The present study sought to examine the moderating effect of ethnicity on the relationship between the use of emotional support as a coping strategy and completion of advance directives.
methodsThe present study employed a weighted sample (
resultsUse of emotional support was associated with dramatically lower do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order completion to a greater extent among Latino as compared to non-Latino patients (interaction AOR = 0.33, SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsUse of emotional support is associated with lower odds of completing DNRs among Latino than among non-Latino patients. Seeking and/or receiving emotional support may deter Latino patients from completing DNR orders. Research is needed to address both emotional needs and practicalities to ensure high quality end-of-life care among Latino patients with cancer.
