[The palliative patient as an emergency patient: A model for decision making in life-threatening situations using 4 case reports].
Article in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2015. 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
backgroundIncreasingly more patients reaching our hospitals as an emergency are chronically ill or are in advanced stages of infaust, e.g., malignant, diseases. On the other hand, the treatment options for malignant diseases are improving. In an emergency, a decision must be made between life-sustaining treatment (in the context of a potentially poor prognosis) versus palliation. DEVELOPMENT OF A DECISION-MAKING MODEL: The current literature about this topic is heterogeneous. The aim of the present article is to present a method using four case reports to decide either for life-sustaining treatment or for palliation with the help of the following: (1) the prognosis of the chronic disease and (2) the association of the acute situation with the chronic disease.
conclusionThis method has an advisory role and cannot be taken as a guideline. Its usefulness can only be proven in practice.
