1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This compare/contrast case study explored the role of religiosity on completion of advance directives in preoperative open-heart surgery patients. Eight preoperative aortic valve replacement cardiac surgery patients were interviewed at Cleveland Clinic, five of whom had completed an advance directive and three of whom had not. In vivo, descriptive, affective, and axial coding was used to analyze results. "Caring for family" emerged as the primary reason for completing, or planning to complete, an advance directive. The values underlying spiritual and religious beliefs appeared to be more important than the beliefs themselves in completing advance directives.
