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
introductionAdvance care planning (ACP) provides a person-centric approach for discussing future care wishes that is responsive to individual preferences and needs. People from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds have substantially lower opportunities for engagement in ACP, contributing to less person-centred care, particularly towards the end of life. This study aimed to identify and describe the currently available resources in Australia that support healthcare staff and people from CALD backgrounds in engaging with ACP.
methodsAltheide's document analysis approach was used to systematically search and select eligible publicly available resources published between January 2013 and June 2023 from websites of government health departments and registered non-government organisations that focused on facilitating ACP with people from CALD backgrounds. A narrative synthesis was performed to report the characteristics and scope of resources. Thematic analysis was employed with the content to identify considerations and recommendations for engaging with individuals from CALD backgrounds in ACP.
resultsA total of 30 eligible resources were identified, of which 21 resources (70%) originated from government sources. Most of the resources targeted consumers (21/30, 70%), and a total of 91 community languages were covered across 15 resources that were offered in translated versions. Five resources were available in easy-to-read English. Thematic analysis of the ten resources that included considerations or recommendations for CALD populations identified four themes: practising culturally sensitive and person-centred approach, supporting communication needs, staff recruitment and training, and provision of collaborative and multidisciplinary support.
conclusionsWhilst a large number of resources have been developed to facilitate uptake of ACP among the general population, a limited number of resources provide specific recommendations or support for working with CALD communities. Few resources reported the use of co-design with communities despite recommendations to do so. Targeted information both for consumers and care providers is required to provide culturally relevant and inclusive support that promotes engagement in ACP towards person-centric care. PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The iCanCare Project described includes consumer investigators who have contributed to conceptualisation and design of the project, in addition to a Project Steering Group including consumer members who have guided the research process.
