Advance care planning readiness among older adults in aged service centers: A cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the readiness for advance care planning (ACP) among older adults in Macau's day service centers and investigate the influencing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2022 using a convenience sampling method. A total of 312 older adults were selected from 13 day service centers for older adults in Macau, China. The Advance Care Planning Acceptance Questionnaire and the Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve (APGAR) Scale were used to survey the older adults. Results: A total of 306 older adults completed the survey. The score for advance care planning readiness was 65.55 ± 10.69, and 59.5% of participants ( Conclusions: Older adults in Macau's day service centers were willing to engage in ACP. The importance of family involvement is highlighted in the ACP readiness. Health education and improved family communication are vital for promoting ACP, which ensures individuals receive care when they lack the capacity to make that choice. Additionally, healthcare professionals should enhance communication and education with older adults during the medical care process.
