Development and Usability of an Advance Care Planning Website (My Voice) to Empower Patients With Heart Failure and Their Caregivers: Mixed Methods Study.
Article in JMIR aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Web-based advance care planning (ACP) interventions offer a promising solution to improve ACP engagement, but none are specifically designed to meet the needs of patients with heart failure and their caregivers. Objective: We aimed to develop and assess the usability and acceptability of a web-based ACP decision aid called "My Voice," which is tailored for patients with heart failure and their caregivers. Methods: This study's team and advisory board codeveloped the content for both patient and caregiver modules in "My Voice." Using a mixed methods approach, we iteratively tested usability and acceptability, incorporating feedback from patients, caregivers, and health care professionals (HCPs). Results: We interviewed 30 participants (11 patients, 9 caregivers, and 10 HCPs). Participants found the website easy to navigate, with simple and clear content facilitating communication of patients' values and goals. They also appreciated that it allowed them to revisit their care goals periodically. The average System Usability Scale score was 74 (SD 14.8; range: 42.5-95), indicating good usability. Over 80% (8/11) of patients and 87% (7/8) of caregivers rated the website's acceptability as good or excellent. Additionally, 70% (7/10) of HCPs strongly agreed or agreed with 11 of the 15 items testing the website's acceptability. Conclusions: "My Voice" shows promise as a tool for patients with heart failure to initiate and revisit ACP conversations with HCPs and caregivers. We will evaluate its efficacy in improving patient and caregiver outcomes in a randomized controlled trial.
