Palliative Care of Cancer in the Older Patient.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The scope of palliative care includes goal setting, symptom management, and care of the care giver. Palliative care is essential for patient-centered care of the older cancer patients. The diversity of this population in terms of life expectancy, treatment tolerance, function, disability, and social support mandates personalized treatment plans. The assessment of physiologic age is currently based on a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). A number of biologic markers of aging including the inflammatory index, the genomic clock, the expression of p16INKa4, and the circulating levels of vitamin D may complement the CGA and fine-tune the determination of physiologic age. Goal setting in older patients may be complicated by communication difficulties related to hearing, cognition, expectation, and culture. Cancer-related pain is a major hindrance to the maintenance of functional independence and fatigue is harbinger of disability and death. The article explores the assessment and the management of the most common and debilitating symptoms in older cancer patients.
