End-of-Life Care of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Compared with Aggressive lymphoma in Patients Who Are Eligible for Intensive Chemotherapy: An Observational Study in a Japanese Community Hospital.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 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
Background: Patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) are reported to receive more aggressive care at the end of life (EOL) than patients with solid tumors. However, the reasons behind this occurrence are not fully understood. Objectives: To examine whether the care at EOL for HMs is mainly because of the disease characteristics or hematologists' attitudes and systems of care, we compared the EOL care of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Design: We retrospectively analyzed the EOL care of patients with AML and DLBCL younger than 80 years who were receiving combination chemotherapy at a city hospital in Japan. Results: Fifty-nine patients with AML and 65 with DLBCL were included. Those with AML received chemotherapy more often within their last 30 days (48% vs. 19%, Conclusion: Patients with AML tend to have lesser access to specialized palliative care and fewer options for their place of death than those with DLBCL. Detailed EOL care plans are needed for these patients, considering the characteristics of the disease.
