Characteristics, Outcomes and Factors for Place of Death in Patients Admitted to Community-Based Palliative Care Services in Shanghai China: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

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: Community-based palliative care (CBPC) is only available in large cities in mainland China and little is known about who utilizes it. Objectives: This study examined the characteristics, outcomes, and factors associated with place of death (PoD) among inpatient CBPC patients. Design: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Settings/Subjects: All patients admitted to the inpatient CBPC unit in four community health centers in 2021 in Shanghai, China, were included. Methods: Characteristics and outcome data were extracted from electronic health records and paper version notes between September 4 and December 29, 2022. PoD was followed up on May 12, 2023. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and categorized using two-step clustering. Decision tree analysis was used to identify factors associated with PoD. Results: The cohort admitted in 2021 included 290 participants (Age: 75.7 ± 12.7 years; Male: Conclusions: Establishing contextualized inpatient CBPC services in more places nationwide that are tailored to different characteristics between cancer patients (i.e., younger and shorter inpatient stay) and noncancer patients (i.e., older and longer stay) is essential to maintain that more dying patients remain in their community.
