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

introductionPharmacotherapy plays a critical role in the delivery of high-quality palliative care, but the intersection of palliative care and deprescribing has received little attention. AREAS COVERED: We conducted a scoping review of English language articles using PubMed to identify relevant publications between 1 January 2000 to 31 July 2022 using search terms of deprescribing, palliative care, end of life, and hospice. We summarize current definitions and developments in palliative care and deprescribing from both clinical and research perspectives. We highlight key challenges and outline proposed solutions and needed research. EXPERT OPINION: The future of deprescribing in palliative care requires the development and adoption of individualized approaches to medication management, including a reconsidered approach to communication about deprescribing. Evidence from high-quality clinical outcomes studies is lacking, and the field needs new approaches to coordination of care delivery. This review article will be of interest to both clinical and research-based pharmacists, physicians, and nurses interested in improving care for patients with serious illness.
