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
Objective: To investigate the current status of Living Will willingness among middle-aged and older adults in Shenzhen, China, and to systematically identify its associated influencing factors. Methods: Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Life Course Theory, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from May 2023 to February 2024. A total of 519 middle-aged and older adults were recruited in Shenzhen. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, a Living Will knowledge questionnaire, a Living Will attitude scale, a family APGAR scale, a health status scale, and a social support scale. Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Firth penalized logistic regression analysis were employed to identify associated factors. Results: The proportion of participants with a positive willingness toward creating a Living Will was 64.7%. Significant influencing factors included age ( Conclusion: Middle-aged and older adults in Shenzhen demonstrated a relatively positive willingness regarding Living Wills. Nine protective factors were identified, including a higher education level, presence of religious belief, higher monthly income, experience of witnessing medical rescue or death, better knowledge of Living Wills, a positive attitude toward Living Wills, good family function and psychological status, and strong social support.
