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

purposeDemand for generalist health professional knowledge and skills in pediatric palliative care (PPC) is growing in response to heightened recognition of the benefits of a palliative approach across the neonatal, pediatric, adolescent and young adult lifespan. This study investigates factors that enhanced PPC workforce capability and education outcomes in metropolitan and regional areas through the integration of dedicated educator roles within specialist pediatric palliative care (SPPC) teams through a national education project.

methodsCross-sectional, prospective qualitative study guided by the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies. The study drew on Discovery Interview methodology and transcripts subjected to inductive thematic analysis. A convenience sample (n=16) of health professionals and educators were recruited from specialist tertiary and regional services providing PPC in Australia.

resultsFour themes emerged related to outcomes of the national PPC education project: (1) building capability in PPC, (2) developing inter-professional partnerships, (3) sustaining staff well-being, and (4) learning from children and families. Dedicated educator roles in SPPC services enhanced workforce capability through education and ongoing mentoring, built collaborative relationships between the complex network of care providers for children with a life-limiting condition (LLC) and their families, and improved quality and access to PPC. Delivery of education evolved from didactic to interactive engagement and coincided with development of a mentoring model between SPPC clinicians and generalist health and social care providers.

conclusionThis study contributes to a growing body of knowledge on innovative and responsive mechanisms for enhancing workforce capability in PPC and provides additional evidence to support funding of dedicated educator roles in specialist PPC services.
