[Choosing wisely at the end of life : Recommendations of the German Society for Palliative Medicine (DGP)].
Review in Der Internist, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In addition to an overuse of unnecessary or no longer indicated diagnostic or therapeutic procedures at the end of life in the sense of overtreatment, there is often also a lack of therapeutic awareness in terms of a healthcare deficit, for example concerning the recognition and treatment of symptoms and complex burden of the disease. Sticking closely to the methodology of the German S3 "Palliative Medicine" guideline, the Choosing wisely recommendations of the German Society for Palliative Medicine address various examples of over- and underuse of healthcare services and treatment at the end of life, and thus also mirror basic principles of palliative medical care.
