[Who is afraid of Ockham's razor? : A discourse analysis on resilience in palliative care (2000-2021)].
Review in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe concept of resilience is becoming increasingly disseminated from material science into various fields of science. It is infiltrating medical fields predominantly via psychology and is also recommended for coping with the special burdens in pain management and palliative care. A precise definition of the term and its operationalization pose problems.
aimA critical stocktaking of the use of this term in the discourse of palliative care research.
methodAnalytical discourse analysis of a text corpus from palliative medical care publications in the time period from 2000 to 2021, obtained by means of a systematic literature search.
resultsIn the research discourse of palliative care, resilience is a topic primarily as a strategy for self-optimization of employees (e.g., burnout prophylaxis with the aim of preserving the workforce). Only rarely does the question of whether it offers potential for patients and their families take center stage, and then more as a catchword than as a concrete concept. The reason is that there is so far no adequate operationalization of the concept of resilience. Furthermore, there is a lack of sufficient justification for the relevance of the concept in patient care of palliative medicine.
conclusionThere is a lack of qualified contributions of palliative research to the metadiscourse about resilience, especially in the context of affected patients. A successful operationalization of the term requires a highly complex multidimensionality of the palliative path of an interdisciplinary approach. There is a lack of ethical standards that prevent an affirmative instrumentalizing application of the term.
