Go Wish Card Game for Meaningful Conversations in the Oncology Healthcare Context: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The Go Wish Card Game (GWCG) is emerging as a valuable tool for facilitating end-of-life (EoL) discussions, particularly in oncology care where patients face complex treatment decisions. This review investigates the GWCG's intended use, its application in oncology settings, and best practices for introducing it to patients. It also addresses the challenges and barriers to its implementation in clinical practice. A search for scientific evidence revealed a significant gap in the literature: while various sources, including qualitative studies and reviews, were reviewed, only a small portion focused on intervention outcomes. This underscores the need for more comprehensive studies to evaluate the GWCG's effectiveness, especially in EoL care. Despite its potential to foster meaningful conversations and support informed decision-making, successful implementation requires overcoming barriers such as patient resistance and the need for a sensitive, gradual approach to EoL topics. Further research, particularly clinical trials, is essential to confirm its broader applicability and effectiveness.
