Rationale for integration of palliative care in the medical intensive care: A narrative literature review.
Review in World journal of critical care medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Despite the remarkable technological advancement in the arena of critical care expertise, the mortality of critically ill patients remains high. When the organ functions deteriorate, goals of care are not fulfilled and life-sustaining treatment becomes a burden on the patient and caregivers, then it is the responsibility of the physician to provide a dignified end to life, control the symptoms of the patient and provide psychological support to the family members. Palliative care is the best way forward for these patients. It is a multidimensional specialty which emphasizes patient and family-based care and aims to improve the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. Although intensive care and palliative care may seem to be at two opposite ends of the spectrum, it is necessary to amalgamate the postulates of palliative care in intensive care units to provide holistic care and best benefit patients admitted to intensive care units. This review aims to highlight the need for an alliance of palliative care with intensive care in the present era, the barriers to it, and models proposed for their integration and various ethical issues.
