Family Ties at End-of-Life: Characteristics of Nursing Home Decedents With and Without Family.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Little is known about nursing home (NH) residents' family characteristics despite the important role families play at end-of-life (EOL). Objective: To describe the size and composition of first-degree families (FDFs) of Utah NH residents who died 1998-2016 ( Methods: Using the Utah Population Caregiving Database, we linked NH decedents to their FDF ( Results: Compared to NH decedents with FDF (78.3%), those without (21.7%) were more likely to be female (64.7% vs. 57.1%), non-White/Hispanic (11.2% vs. 4.2%), less educated (<9th grade; 41.1% vs. 32.4%), and die in a rural/frontier NH (25.3% vs. 24.0%, all Conclusions: Among NH decedents, those with and without FDF have different sociodemographic and death characteristics-factors that may impact care at EOL. Understanding the nature of FDF relationship type on NH resident EOL care trajectories and outcomes is an important next step in clarifying the role of families of persons living and dying in NHs.
