Palliative Care in COVID Times - Quality of Death Matters!!
Article in Indian journal of palliative care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Palliative care for patients with chronic non-malignant diseases is a less addressed area. In-hospital care, particularly, critical care of elderly population with advanced organ failure, can lead to poor resource management. ICU beds come under the strained resource category, more so in the backdrop of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Home-based palliative care ensures better comfort to the patient and their kin, at the same time facilitating better resource utilisation. This approach may also reduce the mental trauma caused by the loss of a dear one. Major hurdles in providing palliative care for the chronically ill are lack of awareness and financial constraints. The need of the hour is enhanced awareness and promotion of the practice of palliative care. A favourable change in government policy and budget allocation will go a long way in achieving this goal. Home-based palliative care paves the way to care for the subset of patients with end-stage organ failure in a more humane manner.
