Caring for special populations: total pain theory in advanced heart failure: applications to research and practice.
Article in Nursing forum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00106041 (Randomized Trial of Care Management to Improve End of Life Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
topicTotal pain theory. PURPOSE: Describe total pain theory and apply it to research and practice in advanced heart failure (HF). SOURCE OF INFORMATION: Total pain theory provides a holistic perspective for improving care, especially at the end of life. In advanced HF, multiple domains of well-being known to influence pain perception are adversely affected by declining health and increasing frailty. A conceptual framework is suggested which addresses domains of well-being identified by total pain theory.
conclusionBy applying total pain theory, providers may be more effective in mitigating the suffering of individuals with progressive, life-limiting diseases.
