Trends in Palliative Care Utilization in Deceased Veterans With Heart Failure.
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 4 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: Specialist-level palliative care in the final days does not allow time to alleviate symptoms and suffering. This analysis examined the change in the time from initial specialty-level palliative care to death among Veterans with heart failure. Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined Veterans with a diagnosis of heart failure (HF) who died between 2011 and 2021. We examined the decedents from each year as a separate cohort. The primary outcome was time from specialty-level palliative care (SPC) encounter to death in the year death occurred. Results: Of the cohort ( Conclusion: For Veterans with HF, specialist-level palliative care moved earlier in the disease course and has a substantial growth opportunity.
