Gaining a better understanding of the needs of rural cancer patients requiring in-home palliative and end-of-life care and nursing care and services.

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
Issue: Access to in-home palliative and end-of-life care (PELC), qualified professionals, and high-quality nursing care and services in rural areas is limited and unequal, thus leading to an increase in unmet needs across the care trajectory of cancer patients. Objectives and methodology: A qualitative descriptive study was carried out to gain a better understanding of the needs of rural cancer patients receiving in-home PELC and to describe the nursing care and services available to them. Results: Five rural cancer patients requiring PELC reported a variety of needs, especially those arising from limited information resources and multiple time- and energy-consuming back-and-forth trips to urban centres. Seven nurses who provide in-home care and services to rural inhabitants outlined the challenges they face in addressing these needs. These are related primarily to the long distances they are called upon to travel, the limited number of specialized professional resources available, transfers to emergency departments, the dearth of PELC training and the lack of a dedicated PELC team. Conclusion: These findings helped gain a better understanding of the specific needs of rural cancer patients requiring in-home PELC, as well as the challenges that nurses must confront to help their patients remain in their own homes.
