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: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly experience distressing symptoms and death anxiety. In advanced stages, many receive aggressive treatments that may not align with their preferences. Advance care planning (ACP) may facilitate goal-concordant care and reduce death anxiety. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a Nurse-Led Promoting Advance Care Planning (NLP-ACP) program on intention to engage in ACP and death anxiety among patients with COPD. Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 patients with COPD, randomly assigned to an experimental or control group (30 each). The experimental group received a 2-week NLP-ACP intervention plus standard care, whereas the control group received standard care alone. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention (week 2), and at follow-up (week 4). Intention to engage in ACP was measured using the Intentions for Advance Care Planning Questionnaire and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and generalized estimating equations. Death anxiety was measured using the Death Anxiety Questionnaire and analyzed using a linear mixed model. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significantly greater increases in intention to engage in ACP immediately after the intervention and at follow-up ( Conclusions: The NLP-ACP program shows promise in increasing intention to engage in ACP and reducing death anxiety among patients with COPD, supporting patient-centered decision-making. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the short follow-up period and single-blind design. Trial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20250416003).
