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

objectivesPalliative care is an essential part of the standard of care for individuals with serious medical illnesses. Integration of palliative care and mental health is important for elderly patients with medical and psychiatric comorbidities. Geriatric psychiatrists are natural stewards of palliative care-mental health integration, however this is contingent on palliative care training. Currently, palliative care training in geriatric psychiatry fellowship programs is uncharacterized. We surveyed geriatric psychiatry fellowship program directors in the United States to assess current palliative care training practices.

methodsWeb-based anonymous survey of geriatric psychiatry fellowship training directors

resultsForty-six percent (28/61) of program directors responded. Seventy one percent (20/28) of programs provide didactics on palliative care. Seventy-seven percent (20/26) of programs provide clinical experiences in palliative care. Sixty-three percent (15/24) have formalized interactions between geriatric psychiatry and palliative care fellows.

conclusionsPalliative care training for geriatric psychiatry fellows is robust but unstandardized. Operationalizing palliative care training for geriatric psychiatrists may improve mental health integration into serious illness care.
