[Generalist palliative care for non-cancer patients: A review article].
Review in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundMost patients in the last phase of life can be treated in the context of generalist palliative care, especially by general practitioners. In contrast to specialized palliative care, non-cancer patients predominate in this setting.
objectiveThe aim of this article is to review the literature and elaborate current topics for non-cancer patients at the end of life in primary palliative care. MATERIAL AND
methodsA literature search was carried out in the databases PubMed and Scopus from 2008 to 2013 followed by a qualitative content analysis according to the PRISMA statement.
resultsA total of 127 articles could be included in the qualitative content analysis and the final review whereby four core topics were identified: (1) specific target groups (e.g. elderly patients, patients with advanced heart failure and pain), (2) collaboration of general practitioners with other physicians and health professions, (3) qualifications in palliative care and (4) provision of primary palliative care. Most articles found were related to the fourth topic and the subtopic of barriers and facilitators of palliative care. Insufficient coordination of the persons involved was a barrier often discussed. Advanced care planning including concrete aspects of palliative care at an early stage can be beneficial for both patients and professionals.
conclusionThe current literature search elucidates the importance of optimizing the processes and structures in providing palliative care and the discussion of end of life issues at an early stage in general practice. Therefore, a structured identification of palliative care needs identified by appropriate assessment instruments is crucial.
