Nurses' experience of providing home-based palliative care in the country setting: An integrated literature review.
Synthesis in International journal of nursing practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimsThe aim of the study is to explore the experiences of nurses providing home-based palliative care for patients who live in country settings.
methodsThis study is an integrated literature review. Electronic databases, specific journals of interest, and reference lists were searched using key words and Boolean operators. Descriptive thematic analysis was undertaken to identify main themes and subthemes. Critical appraisal of the articles was conducted using the qualitative Critical Appraisal Skills Program guidelines. Primary research articles published in English, in peer-reviewed journals from 1990 to 2017, were included.
resultsTwelve articles were included in this review. Two main themes emerged including the nature of nursing in country communities and nurses' emotional responses. The first main theme had the subthemes of community connections, geographical distance and isolation, organizational deficits, lack of education, and resources. The second main theme consisted on five subthemes including feeling rewarded, autonomy and professional isolation, hope and hopelessness, frustration, and fear.
conclusionLiterature is sparse reporting the lived experience of nurses providing palliative care in country areas for patients wanting to die at home. An increase in demand for a home-based palliative nursing service will require additional funding globally to meet this increase in the future.
