The Concept of Respite in Palliative Care: Definitions and Discussions.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purpose of the reviewThe definition of respite care remains unclear and its purpose and effectiveness are unproven till date. This paper reviews the current evidence regarding definition and efficacy of respite care, as well as the different programs, models, and interventions employed to deliver the same. RECENT
findingsA scoping search identified the relevant literature to be included in the review. The current evidence reiterates the lack of clarity in defining and delineating the purpose of respite care. Recent empirical evidence supports the effectiveness of respite care with clear benefits for the carers, patients, their families, and the healthcare system. Along with inpatient, home, and hospice care, respite care is considered as an essential component of palliative care. Evidence, although weak, supports the efficacy of respite care. High-quality studies with clear outlining of the scope of the services and resolution of ambiguities pertaining to its definition are warranted to fill the gaps in knowledge.
