"At the End I Have a Say": Engaging the Chinese Community in Advance Care Planning.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
contextDespite the association of advance care planning (ACP) with improved patient and caregiver outcomes, Chinese American elders have low rates of ACP.
objectivesAssess ACP facilitators/barriers in the San Francisco (SF) Chinese community and codesign, implement, and test community-based ACP-promoting pilot events.
methodsA Chinese Community Committee (N = 19 community-based organization leaders, health system representatives, community members) conducted focus groups in Cantonese and English with Chinese older adults (age ≥55), caregivers, and community leaders. The Committee designed and implemented pilot events in-person and online. We analyzed focus group data using thematic analysis; assessed pre-to-post-event readiness to engage in ACP (validated survey; 14 scale, 4 = most ready); and assessed event acceptability.
resultsA total of 34 people participated in six focus groups. Themes described Chinese community-specific importance of ACP (e.g., reduces family burden), barriers (e.g., younger generations lack tools to discuss ACP with elders and vice versa), and facilitators (e.g., intergenerational events, culturally/linguistically appropriate materials). Based on focus groups findings, the Committee developed a novel ACP tool and designed intergenerational events. A total of 195 participants attended 10 events; 95% were Chinese, 90% spoke Chinese languages, 80% were women. ACP readiness increased significantly (1.66 [SD 0.84] vs. 2.03 [SD 0.85]; P < 0.001); 94% of participants were comfortable attending and 96% would recommend events.
conclusionCommunity-developed intergenerational events that highlight the value of ACP and address barriers are acceptable and increase ACP engagement in the Chinese community.
