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

The need for palliative care (PC) has gained increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Palliative care adds an extra layer of support and care for patients with advanced chronic illnesses and their families. Because of pandemic restrictions, access and provision of PC services were challenging and resulted in huge suffering and caregiving burden among patients with advanced chronic illnesses and their families, especially those living in smaller towns and rural communities. The study aimed to describe the impact of COVID-19 on PC services and examine various ethical, moral, and practice issues and challenges experienced by rural providers. Using a community-based participatory research approach, a purposive sample of health care providers (n = 15) was obtained from smaller towns and rural communities in Indiana, United States. Online individual interviews were used for data collection. Thematic analysis showed several concerns including restricted visitation, communication challenges, "hard to say goodbye over iPad", moral distress among providers, and preference for home hospice services. Findings call for strategies to implement best PC practices and programs to support providers and families in smaller towns and rural communities.
