Defining Advance Care Planning and Identifying Quality Indicators: A Case Study on Key Stakeholders' Perspectives in Singapore.
Article in Palliative medicine reports. 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: In recent years, several regions have evolved their own definitions of advance care planning (ACP). Country-specific characteristics may affect local definitions, goals, and quality assessment. Objective: To obtain collective views of key opinion leaders in Singapore regarding the target population, scope, and goals of ACP, and to propose a list of quality indicators that could be used to monitor and evaluate its progress and impact. Design: A World Café methodology was used to facilitate group discussions among participants involved in ACP-related work across a range of settings including acute hospitals, community hospitals, primary care clinics, nursing homes, community care organizations, nursing homes, and universities. To define the target population, scope, and goals of ACP, three distinct exercises were conducted within the World Café session, from which main insights were synthesized and reported. Results: A total of 34 ACP leaders, administrators, facilitators, and researchers representing 25 organizations participated. ACP was conceived to be an ongoing process of exploring an individual's personal beliefs, values, and health care preferences in relation to current and future medical care, together with their families and loved ones. To balance respecting the voice of the individual a with operational efficiency, organizations can deploy structural and process quality indicators to guide goal achievement. Conclusion: We have established the intended target population, scope, and goals necessary to inform the implementation of ACP. Critical quality indicators were identified to support the monitoring and evaluation of the program's progress across different implementation stages in Singapore.
