Interdisciplinary Training to Enhance Home Health Clinician Knowledge of Palliative Care: Findings from the PIVOT Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of palliative medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundOlder adults receiving home health care (HHC) frequently experience serious illness, yet palliative care (PC) is rarely integrated into HHC practice.
objectiveTo develop and evaluate an interdisciplinary program to support a PalliatIVe hOme healTh (PIVOT) model to build HHC clinicians' knowledge and confidence in addressing PC needs.
methodsPIVOT included home health clinicians who completed 4 hours of online discipline-specific learning and an in-person session with case-based didactics, facilitated discussion, and reflective exercises. Pre- and post-training surveys assessed knowledge, confidence, and comfort across PC domains.
resultsParticipants reported improvements in confidence assessing and managing symptoms, knowledge of advance directives, and comfort updating directives. The largest increase was in understanding what specialty PC provides. All participants rated the training as "very helpful" and indicated intention to apply skills in practice.
conclusionsThis interdisciplinary pilot training demonstrated feasibility and early signals of improved PC knowledge and readiness among HHC clinicians to implement core PC practices.
