Palliative Care in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: A Meta Synthesis.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
End-stage renal disease is the last stage of chronic kidney disease and is associated with a decreased quality of life and life expectancy. This study aimed to explore palliative care with end-stage renal disease. Qualitative meta-synthesis was used as the study design. The search was performed for qualitative studies published until June 2021 and uses reciprocal translation and synthesis of in vivo and imported concepts. Five themes were included: Struggling to face the disease, experiencing deterioration, overcoming the challenges of dialysis, leading to a positive outlook, and preparing for the end of life. In facing chronic disease with life-limiting potential, patients experienced some negative feelings and deterioration in their quality of life. Adaptation to the disease then leads patients to a better outlook through increased spirituality and social status. Furthermore, by accepting the present condition, they started to prepare for the future. Increasing awareness of mortality leads them to discuss advance care (ACP) planning with healthcare professionals and families.
