Identifying Palliative Care Needs Among Older Adults in Nonclinical Settings.
Article in The American journal of hospice & palliative care, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Though palliative care is appropriate for patients with serious illness at any stage of the illness and treatment process, the vast majority of palliative care is currently delivered in inpatient medical settings in the past month of life during an acute hospitalization. Palliative care can have maximal benefit to patients when it is integrated earlier in the illness trajectory. One possible way to increase earlier palliative care use is to screen for unmet palliative care needs in community settings. The goal of this study was to assess the rates of unmet palliative care needs in older adults who attend New York City-based senior centers. The results of this study revealed that 28.8% of participants screened positive for unmet palliative care needs. Lower education and living alone were predictors of positive palliative care screens, but age, gender, marital status, and race were not. This study determined that the rate of unmet palliative care needs in community-based older adults who attend senior center events was high and that living arrangement and education level are both correlates of unmet palliative care needs. Screening for unmet palliative care needs in community settings is a promising approach for moving palliative care upstream to patients who could benefit from the additional supportive services prior to an acute hospitalization.
