Speaking a Different Language: A Qualitative Analysis Comparing Language of Palliative Care and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Physicians.
Article in The American journal of hospice & palliative care, 2018. 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
backgroundFamily conferences in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) often include palliative care (PC) providers. We do not know how ICU communication differs when the PC team is present.
aimTo compare language used by PC team and ICU physicians during family conferences.
designA retrospective cohort review of ICU family conferences with and without the PC team.
settingForty-four bed pediatric ICU in a tertiary medical center.
participantsNine ICU physicians and 4 PC providers who participated in 18 audio-recorded family conferences.
resultsOf the 9 transcripts without the PC team, we identified 526 ICU physician statements, generating 10 thematic categories. The most common themes were giving medical information and discussing medical options. Themes unique to ICU physicians included statements of hopelessness, insensitivity, and "health-care provider challenges." Among the 9 transcripts with the PC team, there were 280 statements, generating 10 thematic categories. Most commonly, the PC team offered statements of support, giving medical information, and quality of life. Both teams promoted family engagement by soliciting questions; however, the PC team was more likely to use open-ended questions, offer support, and discuss quality of life.
conclusionPediatric ICU physicians spend more time giving medical information, whereas the PC team more commonly offers emotional support. The addition of the PC team to ICU family conferences may provide a balanced approach to communication.
