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

objectiveThe current study aims to review, appraise, and synthesize the available studies and recommend the significant clinical implications for healthcare professionals to understand the existing findings of palliative care experience among patients with hematology malignancy.

methodsAfter excluding the registered or ongoing systematic reviews in the PROSPERO database regarding the lived experience of palliative care among patients with HM, our systematic review and meta-analysis protocol was registered in PROSPERO [CRD42021270311]. A search for published articles in English between January 2000 and December 2020 was conducted among different electronic databases using PRISMA guidelines 2020. Meta-synthesis was accomplished using the JBI meta-aggregation method to synthesize the findings. The implemented approach involved all qualitative research and mixed-method studies that included a qualitative part.

resultsThis review contained eight studies which led to 25 codes and seven categories. Finally, three synthesized themes were developed: (1) Approaching the end of life among patients with Hematology Malignancy, (2) submission and surrender of patients with Hematology Malignancy during their terminal stage, and (3) Entrance to the palliative care world. Therefore, realizing the importance of palliative care services to patients with Hematology Malignancy by providing evidence-based education and timely referral is crucial.

conclusionThere was a substantial increase in the HMs rate with late referral to palliative care services. The results of this review may draw attention to some issues reported by patients with Hematology Malignancy. Scaling up palliative care services for those patients is essential to minimize end-of-life suffering and the long-term impact of inadequate palliative care for patients with Hematology Malignancy.
