A Phased Plan for the Expansion of Hospice and Palliative Care.
Article in Journal of hospice and palliative care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Palliative care is a comprehensive approach aimed at improving the quality of life for patients and their families. The symptom burden and care needs of patients with end-stage, non-malignant diseases are similar to those experienced by patients with advanced cancer. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the expansion of palliative care to encompass a broad spectrum of diseases. However, in Korea, the adoption of palliative care for non-malignant conditions remains markedly low, presenting numerous challenges that differ from those associated with cancer. Key barriers to implementing hospice care for non-malignant diseases include the difficulty in predicting end-of-life and a general lack of awareness about hospice palliative care among healthcare providers, patients, and their families. Additionally, there is a risk that suggesting palliative care to patients with non-malignant diseases might be misinterpreted as an endorsement by healthcare providers to cease treatment or abandon the patient. This article explores strategies to broaden the scope of hospice and palliative care for patients with non-malignant diseases.
