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

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition associated with declining decisional capacity and increased end-of-life care needs. Although advance care planning (ACP) supports patient autonomy and goal-concordant care, engagement remains limited, particularly among patients with pre-dialysis CKD in Thailand. Objectives: To assess the level of intention to engage in ACP and identify factors predicting ACP intention among patients with CKD stages 3-5 in Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2025 among 184 patients aged ≥20 years with CKD stages 3-5 attending nephrology outpatient clinics at five public tertiary-level hospitals. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling using a multistage approach. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The mean age of participants was 64.48 years ( Conclusions: ACP intention among Thai patients with CKD was low, influenced by attitudes, family support, self-efficacy, and ACP knowledge. Nurses should implement family-centered, empowerment-based educational interventions and integrate ACP discussions into routine nephrology care to promote timely and culturally aligned end-of-life decision-making.
