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

The demand for palliative care is increasing globally, yet a notable lack of awareness continues to present a significant obstacle to its widespread adoption. The use of digital tools like Google Trends can help gauging public interest in specific topics. We used Google Trends to conduct a systematic search of terms related to palliative care from January 1, 2010, to May 10, 2023. The results were filtered by location, including worldwide and Latin American countries. We found a global increase in searches for terms related to palliative care, with a peak in December 2022 associated with the death of Brazilian footballer Pelé. Countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia mirrored this trend, while others like Argentina and Peru did not. Interest in palliative care is on the rise in Latin America, albeit with notable regional variations.
