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

abstractPalliative care in rural areas can be difficult to assess and, often is of lower quality compared to more densely populated regions. A program of multicenter palliative care discussion forum via tele-videoconference may be a promising tool for exchanging valuable experience and constructing a comprehensive hospice care system in Taiwan and China.The multicenter palliative care discussion forum began 1997 and 2010 in Taiwan and China, respectively. In every forum, 1 to 2 cases were presented by multiple field specialists, and multi-dimensional problems were discussed. All of these case reports and reference materials from the forums were analyzed.The conference discussed 199 and 143 cases in Taiwan and China, including 172 and 143 cancer patients. The most common mentioned symptom was pain (66.3% in Taiwan, 96.95% in China). As time went on, the rate of discussion in pain management issues decreased, but the social and psycho-spiritual issues increased in Taiwan. After some major legal and social changes, the discussion of ethical issues increased rapidly. In China, the trends and ranking in discussion of nonpain management issues stabilized and showed most frequently in psycho-spiritual issues, followed by social, ethical and legal issues.Sharing palliative experience via tele-videoconferences is an effective tool to improve the quality of care, and also saves a significant amount of time and expense. Experts in different professions from different hospitals should discuss any palliative problems, share their valuable experience, and ponder a comprehensive hospice care.
