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

backgroundNursing homes are confronted with a significant change in their client structure. Palliative care gains importance in caring for residents until the end of their life. Relatives play a crucial role in caring for older people in nursing homes, especially in palliative care. As the perspective of relatives on palliative care culture in nursing homes has not yet been studied extensively, research in this field still has an exploratory character.

aimThe aim of the paper is to highlight some of the most important insights into themes and issues that relatives of persons having died in a nursing home find essential, with a view to fostering a well-established palliative care culture.

methodsWithin a qualitative approach, four focus group interviews were conducted.

findingsFindings indicate that good communication is a core element of a well-established palliative care culture. Direct contact with relatives, talking about death and dying and the opportunity to be involved in decision-making all support a good palliative care culture. The fact that residents have a diverse range of social backgrounds, for example, regarding ethnicity, gender and living with dementia, influences palliative care in nursing homes and has to be taken into account.

conclusionsTo create a good palliative care culture, management has to support this approach, continuously develop appropriate structures and act in a competent way.
