Comparison of the Life-Sustaining Treatment, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, and Palliative Care Implementation Rates between Homebound Patients with Malignant and Nonmalignant Disease Who Died in an Acute Hospital Setting: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. 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
objectiveThis study investigated and compared the implementation of life-support treatment (LST), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) implementation rates, and the influence of acute illnesses on the introduction of palliative care (PC) to homebound patients with malignant and nonmalignant disease, who subsequently died in an acute hospital setting.
methodsAmong the homebound patients admitted to the ward in our hospital from 2011 to 2018, we investigated and compared the attributes, underlying diseases, causes of death, and rates of implementation of LST, CPR, and PC between patients with malignant and nonmalignant disease who died in the ward, using data obtained from hospitalization records. Furthermore, acute illnesses related to the introduction of PC were examined.
resultsOf the 551 homebound patients admitted to the ward of an acute hospital, 119 died in the ward. Of the deceased patients, 60 had malignant disease and 59 had nonmalignant disease. Patients with nonmalignant disease had higher rates of LST implementation and CPR and a lower rate of PC. Patients with infectious disease, who required antimicrobial drugs, had significantly lower PC introduction rates.
conclusionUnderstanding the influence of the timing of PC introduction in acute care for homebound patients with advanced chronic illness are issues to be considered.
