Relationship between palliative care consultation service and end-of-life outcomes.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposePalliative care consultation service (PCCS) is currently utilized to provide care to terminal patients in Taiwan. However, there is little research on the relationship between PCCS and end-of-life outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate the association between PCCS and end-of-life outcomes in terminal cancer patients.
methodsRetrospective chart reviews of terminal cancer patients who consulted the PCCS of a medical center in Taiwan from January 2007 to December 2012 were performed. Data on 1369 patients were recorded, which included details of outcomes such as discharge from hospital, transfer to hospice ward, and death after PCCS termination. Other variables such as demographics, disease-related information, symptoms, and psychosocial needs were also evaluated. Logistic regression models were employed to estimate the adjusted odds ratios and related 95% confidence intervals.
resultsThe Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, timing of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) signature, constipation, and spiritual problems experienced by the patients were important predictors for terminal cancer patients who were discharged from the hospital or had expired at the time of PCCS termination. Age, gender, primary cancer diagnosis, timing of DNR signature, constipation, and other physical symptoms were the key predictors for patients who were transferred to the hospice ward or had expired.
conclusionsThis study confirms the outcomes of PCCS and highlights the important predictors for patients at PCCS termination. These factors can be targeted to improve and enhance the quality of PCCS rendered in the future.
