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
Aim: This study analyzed determinants of advance-directive (AD) completion for end-of-life preparedness among older Korean adults. Methods: The study used data from 9,796 individuals in the 2023 National Survey of Older Koreans. Complex-sample weighted analyses and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to identify factors associated with AD completion among older Koreans. Sociodemographic, health-status, and death-preparation characteristics were analyzed. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that the strongest predictors of AD completion were organ- or tissue-donation willingness, educational attainment, and writing a will. Other significant factors included funeral consultation and death-preparation education. Conclusion: These findings suggest that death-preparation behaviors and end-of-life planning activities are significantly associated with AD completion among older Korean adults. Public-health strategies should support targeted education and communication interventions to improve older adults' engagement in advanced care planning.
