Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Vital Aspects of Holistic Diabetes Care of Older People With Diabetes.
Article in Diabetes spectrum : a publication of the American Diabetes Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Palliative and end-of-life care and advance care planning are important components of holistic diabetes management, especially for older people with a long duration of diabetes and comorbidities who experience unpleasant symptoms and remediable suffering. Many diabetes clinicians do not have conversations about advance care planning with people with diabetes, often because they are reluctant to discuss these issues and are not familiar with palliative care. This article outlines palliative, terminal, and end-of-life care for older people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and suggests when to consider changing the focus on tight blood glucose control to a focus on safety and comfort. It proposes strategies to incorporate palliative and end-of-life care into personalized holistic diabetes care, determined with older people with diabetes and their families through shared decision-making.
