Design Thinking: An Interprofessional Method for Finding Comfort in the Discomfort Surrounding End-of-Life Conversations Between Providers and Patients.
Article in Medical science educator, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This paper discusses the development of a novel curriculum utilizing design thinking practices to train physician assistant (PA) students in conducting end-of-life (EOL) conversations. The curriculum aims to equip future healthcare providers with the necessary communication skills for advanced care planning (ACP) and goals of care (GOC) discussions, which are crucial for respecting patient autonomy and improving care quality. This training program, which includes utilization of the design thinking framework, role-playing, and community volunteer involvement, addresses the current gap in EOL conversation training. The anticipated outcomes of integrating structured strategies for difficult conversations in medical education include enhanced patient autonomy and bolstered provider confidence, contributing to improved clinical communication and decision-making efficacy.
