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

To describe individual perspectives and reflections on unforgettable stories about dying over an eight-year period, in a mixed surgical and general intensive care unit (ICU) in China. The study was carried out at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The research was based on personal experience and reflection. Narrative and experiential reflection synthesis were performed for the data analysis. This was done to understand the current situation regarding dying, then to identify and analyze, and finally to put forward some suggestions regarding the experience. The discussion and preparation for death in the ICU may still require further discussion. For a better acceptance of hospice care and high quality and dignity of death and even the donation of organs, it is important that health care providers learn to talk about death with their patients, and to encourage the patients to participate in the decision-making process.
