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
backgroundThe aim of palliative care is to optimize the quality of life of patients with incurable advanced diseases. Adequate psychotherapeutic and psychiatric care is essential in this context.
objectiveThis article presents the recommendations of the S3 guideline on palliative care for patients with incurable cancer with regard to psychotherapeutic and psychiatric contents. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe guideline was developed under the leadership of the German Society for Palliative Medicine (DGP) within the methodological framework of the German Guideline Program in Oncology. Systematic literature reviews were carried out to identify relevant publications in the databases Medline, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo and Embase. Based on the publications included and clinical experience, representatives of 61 professional associations developed and agreed on evidence-based and consensus-based recommendations.
resultsOut of the total of 15 chapters in the guidelines, four have a special reference to psychiatry or psychotherapy; they cover the topics depression, anxiety, delirium in the dying phase and dealing with the desire to die. These chapters contain a total of 71 recommendations, almost one third of which are evidence-based. In view of the regularly undetected psychological symptoms in patients with incurable cancer, an early assessment is recommended. Optimal control of physical symptoms and support in social and existential matters are general measures that should be provided in addition to non-pharmacological and pharmacological procedures.
conclusionThe guideline on palliative care deals with important mental issues that should be considered by all disciplines and professions. The need for research in palliative care remains high.
