Introduction of triggers for palliative care consultation improves utilization and satisfaction within a level four NICU.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWe sought to explore the beliefs regarding palliative care team utilization, as well as increase consultation and awareness of the palliative care team's role in the NICU. STUDY
designThe study design in this Level 4 NICU included observational time series with multiple planned sequential interventions. Medical chart review was conducted to determine eligibility, and statistical process control charts were used to show performance over time.
resultsPrior to implementation of the triggers, 26% received consultation, which increased to 46% after implementation. There was an increase in level of understanding, knowledge of team's role, and improved utilization. The time until initial consultation decreased from ~1.5 months to 1 week.
conclusionsWe observed a 20% increase in consultations. Key interventions included continual education, reminders, and clear postage of the trigger list. Written guidelines increase awareness of a palliative care team's role within a NICU, and provider satisfaction.
