1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 pilot randomized controlled trial investigated whether a patient decision aid (PtDA) could enhance preparedness for advance care planning (ACP) among participants treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) following surgery. Participants were recruited online through a private research company in Japan. The intervention group received a researcher-developed PtDA aligned with international standards, while the control group received an informational pamphlet. The SURE test, a screening tool for decisional conflict, was used as the primary outcome to assess confidence in health-related decision-making. A post-intervention web-based survey was also conducted to assess participants' preferences for ACP support from healthcare professionals. The proportion of participants unable to make an ACP decision was significantly lower in the intervention group (
