1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe objective of this study is to identify the beliefs, values, perceptions, and experiences of medical oncology, radiation oncology, and clinical haematology professionals about the advance care planning process.

methodsQualitative exploratory study. There were four focus groups with 14 nurses and 12 physicians (eight medical oncology, one radiation oncology, three haematology). A reflexive thematic analysis of the data obtained was performed.

resultsWe identified 20 thematic categories, which we grouped into four themes: lack of knowledge about advance care planning; perception of the advance care planning process: knowledge acquired from practice; barriers and facilitators for the implementation of advance care planning; and communication as a key aspect of advance care planning.

conclusionsThe participants valued advance care planning as an early intervention tool that promotes autonomy. They perceived difficulties in approaching planning due to lack of knowledge, training, and time. They identified the therapeutic relationship with the person, the participation of the person's loved ones, teamwork, and communication skills as essential to ensuring the quality of the process. Finally, they recognised that palliative care professionals provide added value in supporting planning processes.
