Evaluation of a Community-Based Advance Care Planning Campaign for a General Adult Population.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 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
Background: Early advance care planning (ACP) has been widely recommended, but overall uptake remains low. Most efforts to improve formal ACP adoption, namely living will (LW) and health care agent (HCA) documentation, focus on medical settings targeted at older adults with serious or chronic illness, while community-based ACP campaigns are limited. Objectives: Describe the development and implementation of a community-based campaign (2017-2021) aimed at increasing ACP adoption and evaluating its outcomes at both the community level and across subgroups by race, ethnicity, and age. Setting: Howard County, Maryland, United States. Design: Nonexperimental study design. Measures: A mixed-mode, representative survey of 2000+ county residents was conducted biennially between 2016 and 2021 (one survey was delayed due to COVID-19). Main outcome measures were self-attestation to completing LW and HCA documentation. Results: In total, 6037 respondents over three years completed the survey. χ Conclusions: Community-based ACP campaigns can result in increased ACP awareness and adoption in the general adult population, though more work is needed to encourage ACP adoption in diverse communities.
