Cancer care near the end-of-life in Austria: A retrospective data analysis.
Article in European journal of cancer care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveSince end-of-life care (EOL) is an internationally accepted indicator for the quality of oncological care we aimed to investigate the current EOL care situation for Austrian cancer patients especially concerning the place of death cancer treatment hospitalisation near death and palliative care.
methodsA retrospective data analysis was carried out based on Austrian routine inpatient data of the years 2012 to 2016. Data including the date of death of adult patients with a main hospital discharge diagnosis of a neoplasm were included. All analyses were source-related and based on the place of residence.
resultsIn total 80818 cancer patients have died between 2012 and 2016 of whom 53.4% died in the inpatient setting. Palliative care at the EOL (last hospitalisation) was present in 12.9% of patients whereby more than 50% were admitted two to 14 days before death. Considering cancer treatment at the EOL (30 days before death) 6.9% of cancer patients have received chemotherapy 1.7% radiation therapy and 0.75% were treated with a monoclonal antibody.
conclusionIn international comparison Austria appears to do well on quality indicators concerning ICU-admission and chemotherapy treatment average on hospital death and poorly on hospital admissions and timely referral for palliative care.
