Four timing patterns of initiation of advance care planning discussions as practiced by home visiting nurses: A qualitative study.

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: The purpose of this study was to explore the actual timing of the initiation of advance care planning (ACP) discussions by experienced visiting nurses for older homebound patients. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 home visit nurses, followed by a qualitative, inductive analysis. Results: Four ACP initiation timing patterns were extracted. Conclusions: Home visit nurses used the following timing patterns differently depending on each patient's situation: "Starting when visiting nurses get to know the patients," "Waiting for a change in the patient's medical condition," "Waiting to begin ACP discussions until the patient and nurse are emotionally ready," and "Starting ACP discussions in a proactive, but non-shocking manner."
