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
backgroundPatient trust in physicians is essential for effective end-of-life discussions. Little is known about how Chinese older adults' trust in physicians relates to their end-of-life care discussions and care setting preferences.
objectiveTo examine the association between medical trust among Chinese older adults and their views on end-of-life discussions and care setting preferences.
designSecondary analysis of longitudinal cohort data from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly (PINE) using linear mixed-effects logistic and multinomial logistic regressions, adjusting for covariates. Predicted probabilities of outcome measures were reported.
participantsA total of 2192 Chinese older adult immigrants in greater Chicago participated in the PINE study from 2017 to 2020. MAIN MEASURES: Outcome variables encompass four dimensions of end-of-life care planning: (1) beliefs about the importance of discussions with family; (2) discussions of end-of-life options with family; (3) preference for counseling with a healthcare provider as a resource; and (4) preferred place of care. The main independent variable was trust in physicians. Covariates included age, sex, education, income, years in the United States, living children, self-rated health, and medical conditions. KEY
resultsRespondents with strong trust were less likely to consider end-of-life discussions with family important (AOR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.55-0.88). Those with strong trust were more likely than those with weak trust to value counseling with a healthcare provider for end-of-life discussions with family (AOR = 5.86, 95% CI: 4.65-7.38). Moderate trust was associated with a preference for end-of-life care in a hospital (AOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.30-2.05) over home care, relative to weak trust.
conclusionsOlder Chinese immigrants with strong trust tended to place less emphasis on end-of-life discussions with family and favored one-on-one counseling with a healthcare provider for end-of-life discussion. Patient education and family engagement in end-of-life discussions led by trusted healthcare providers may be promising approaches to ensure goal-concordant care for this population.
