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

backgroundAlmost every otorhinolaryngologist will be confronted with patients in need of palliative care. The development of comprehensive cancer centers in Germany strengthens the cooperation between otorhinolaryngologists and palliative care specialists for the benefit of patients with head and neck cancer.

objectiveThe present article provides an overview on palliative care in order to support otorhinolaryngologists in conscious end-of-life decision making and symptom management for head and neck cancer patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsA search of the contemporary medical scientific literature was conducted in PubMed and on the websites of relevant specialist societies.

resultsDifferent palliative care institutions are introduced and a general overview on palliative care is given. Possible practical solutions for management of typical palliative symptoms (dyspnea, pain, bleeding), negotiation (setting, perception, invitation, knowledge, emotions, and strategy/summary, SPIKES, model), and advanced care planning (living will, patient's free will, medical indication) are discussed.

conclusionCollaboration of otorhinolaryngologists and palliative care specialists has the potential to further increase quality of life and survival of patients with oncological head and neck diseases.
