The challenges of symptom management for patients with multimorbidity in research and practice: a thematic review.
Article in Progress in palliative care, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Multimorbidity, the presence of multiple coexisting diseases or conditions, afflicts the majority of older adults, and is associated with increased mortality and healthcare utilization. In addition, multimorbidity negatively impacts quality of life and increases symptom burden. Yet, there is a dearth of evidence on how to best manage symptoms in patients with multimorbidity. Research in this area has been hampered by inconsistent definitions of multimorbidity and challenges in outcome measurement. Investigations of symptom management strategies in specific disease states, like cancer, typically exclude medically complex patients. In the absence of evidence, the American Geriatrics Society's recommendations for the care of adults with multimorbidity provide a useful starting point for clinicians. We present a case to demonstrate how the AGS recommendations can be tailored to the situation of symptom management in patients with multimorbidity. We also present suggestions for future research directions.
