Meta-aggregation of facilitators and barriers to home-based palliative care.
Synthesis in BMC palliative care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundHome-based palliative care is in the early stages of development, and its implementation continues to face numerous challenges.
objectiveThis study aims to systematically synthesize qualitative research on the facilitators and barriers to home-based palliative care, offering evidence-based recommendations to support the advancement of palliative care in China.
methodsA systematic search was conducted across multiple databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang,2222 and VIP Database for qualitative studies related to home-based palliative care, with the search covering studies published up to October 3, 2024. Quality assessment was performed using the JBI standards for qualitative research. Meta-Aggregation was performed using an aggregative integration approach, and the data were analyzed and managed using Nvivo software.
conclusionsTwelve studies involving 334 participants were included. Ninety-nine initial findings were extracted and categorized into eight groups. Facilitators included family support, collaboration within interdisciplinary teams, and community resource availability. Barriers comprised challenges in healthcare policies, cultural and social influences, lack of Knowledge and Attitudes of Healthcare Workers, lack of Knowledge and Attitudes of Patients and Families, and insufficient home care resources.
conclusionTo advance palliative care in China, it is critical to enhance policy support and financial backing, improve the education and training of healthcare professionals and the public in diverse cultural settings, strengthen community nursing capabilities, and explore the integration of information technology in care delivery.
