[Symptom control and ethics in final stages of COPD].
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
On the basis of a case study, the complex problems of the final stages of a COPD will be demonstrated and discussed. Dyspnea and anxiousness are the primary symptoms. If they can be adequately brought under control by opiates and benzodiazepines, a palliative sedation is then not necessary. The communicative and ethical demands on the team responsible are high. It is important to be aware of the specific needs of the patient and of his/her family members, and to competently accompany the patient throughout the decision-making process--such as the decision to end respiratory therapy, for example. Clarifying the situation with the patient and finding out his/her wishes, accompanied by the corresponding documentation, is advisable.
