The Application and Influence of Hospice Care Among Patients with Advanced Esophageal Cancer.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the application effect of hospice care in patients with advanced esophageal cancer (EC), provide a practical basis for improving sleep quality, dignity, and subjective well-being, and relieving depression and anxiety in patients with advanced EC.
methodsA randomized cluster sampling method was used to select 60 patients with advanced EC who received routine intervention (control group) and 64 patients with advanced EC who received hospice care (study group). The intervention time was three months, and the self-rated anxiety scale (SAS) before and after the interventions was compared between the two groups. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the General Well-being Scale (GWB), the Patient Dignity Scale (PDI), and patients' physical pain state were recorded.
resultsNo significant differences were found in the HAMD, SAS, PSQI, GWB, or PDI scores between the two groups before the interventions (P > 0.05); after the interventions, the HAMD, SAS, PSQI, and PDI scores of the two groups were significantly decreased, and the HAMD, SAS, PSQI, and PDI scores of the study group were lower compared with the control group. The GWB scores of the two groups were significantly increased, and those of the study group were significantly higher compared with the control group; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After the interventions, pain grades of III and above decreased in both groups to grade II, and pain sensation in the study group was lower compared with the control group; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
conclusionHospice care can reduce the level of pain related to depression and anxiety in patients with advanced EC and improve their sleep quality, as well as their sense of dignity and subjective well-being.
