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
backgroundSince 2011 palliative care has been a compulsory part of the German medical study course (so-called Q13 palliative and pain medicine). Palliative care content does not, however, as often taught, have to focus only on patients in the so-called palliative stages of disease. The aim of this investigation was to encourage a discussion concerning the integration of palliative care aspects into general medical treatment.
methodsFor data collection an open discussion of the main topics by experts in palliative medical care was used. The main outcome measures and recommendations included responses regarding current practices related to expert opinions, national and international literature and one case report. The literature search was performed using the databases "PubMed", "Medline" and "Google" (1990-2011).
resultsAs an important consensus, the following recommendations for optimization of inpatient and outpatient care were: (1) integration of aspects of palliative care into medical curricula of all disciplines, (2) palliative care content should be extended to the general optimization of therapy for all patients, (3) palliative medicine should be part of the everyday medical practice in all disciplines and (4) palliative medicine should not be isolated as "death medicine" or medicine of the dying patient.
conclusionsPalliative care treatment is increasingly becoming integrated into medical education and into medical curricula of all disciplines. Palliative ideas and goals are focussed on patients in the so-called palliative stages of disease. Furthermore, palliative medicine is often described as the medicine of dying patients. As a result of this study it seems to make sense to extend palliative care aspects to all patients and to all patient care. The extent to which such opportunities exist and such health care is economically feasible remains to be the subject of further clinical studies.
