Trends in the Aggressiveness of End-of-Life Cancer Care in the State of Qatar.
Article in Journal of global oncology, 2016. 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
purposeQuality of end-of-life (EOL) care is a key component of excellence in cancer care, and monitoring indicators for quality of EOL cancer care is crucial to providing excellent care. The aim of the current study is to describe the relative aggressiveness of EOL cancer care in the state of Qatar and to compare it with international figures.
methodsWe analyzed all deaths from cancer in Qatar between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. A total of 784 eligible patients were studied to assess aggressiveness of cancer care at EOL.
resultsThe average number of intensive care unit admissions per person decreased from 0.44 to 0.22 (
conclusionThe aggressiveness of EOL cancer care has significantly decreased over time in Qatar; however, despite this decrease, the rate is still higher than that reported internationally. The integration of community palliative care services in Qatar may further decrease the aggressiveness of cancer care at EOL.
