Against Offering "Faux Codes": An Ethically Problematic Workaround.

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
In another essay in this issue of the Hasting Center Report, an argument is made in favor of offering a "faux code" in the setting of a patient who cannot say no to her family who insists her code status remain "full." Under the proposal, an unwritten agreement is made between the patient and the clinical team to withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation while maintaining a "full code" status in the medical record. The ethical question in this case involves how best to support and uphold the patient's autonomy while minimizing the distress of the patient's family, and the "faux code" is proposed as an ethically supportable intervention. However, pressing ethical concerns remain. In this essay, we offer three main objections to the provision of a "faux code": the role of deceit and its consequences for public trust, the impact on nurses and trainees, and the framing of autonomy under the faux code proposal.
