1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis article outlines the development and implementation of a consensus development conference (CDC).

backgroundAs a rapid method for data synthesis, a CDC affords a timely and methodic means of evaluating data to effect change in healthcare policy.

methodsThe CDC methodology was adopted for the Palliative Care Matters initiative due to its engagement with the public, scientific community, and palliative care stakeholders.

resultsIt requires the involvement of seven key groups/roles to successfully effect change: a manager, steering committee, scientific expert panel, public lay panel, a lay-panel facilitator, a public audience, and the media for dissemination. DISCUSSION: This article also details the background information and guiding principles on which the Palliative Care Matters initiative was formed. A Canadian Reference Working Group was formed to develop the Palliative Care Matters guiding principles into six scientific questions. The scientific articles in this supplemental issue each present evidence and expert recommendations that speak to one of the Palliative Care Matters scientific questions.
