Electronic Implementation of Integrated End-of-life Care: A Local Approach.
Article in International journal of integrated care, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient is an instrument to deliver integrated care for patients in their last hours of life. Originally a paper-based system, this study investigates the feasibility of an electronic version.
methodsAn electronic Liverpool Care Pathway was implemented in a specialized palliative care unit of a German university hospital. Its use is exemplified by means of auditing and analysis of the proportion of recorded items.
resultsIn the years 2013 and 2014 the electronic Liverpool Care Pathway was used for the care of 159 patients. The uptake of the instrument was high (67%). Most items were recorded. Apart from a high usability, the fast data retrieval allows fast analysis for auditing and research. CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION: The electronic instrument is feasible in a computerized ward and has strong advantages for retrospective analysis.
