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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the training methods family physicians (FPs) use to enhance their professional development in palliative care. We also determined the relationship between these methods and palliative care practice.

methodsA questionnaire survey was administered to 557 FPs. Palliative care practices were measured using the palliative care self-reported practices scale (PCPS;range 1-5), and associations among the eight indicators of FP palliative care training were considered. Quantile regression analysis was used for the analysis.

resultsValid responses were received from 307 FPs:99.4% of the FPs provided palliative care and home visits, and 92.8% received palliative care training. The PCPS score was higher in participants who reported having received palliative care training (adjusted coefficient, 0.4 [95% CI, 0.12-0.68]; P=0.004). The palliative care training method was found to be significantly associated with the PCPS score "Self-study through literature" (adjusted coefficient 0.18 [95% CI, 0.01-0.34]; P=0.03) and "Reflection on the practices" (adjusted coefficient 0.24 [95% CI, 0.08-0.4]; P=0.004).

conclusionsFPs actively provided palliative care in their communities and used various palliative care training methods for professional development. "Reflection on the practices" and "Self-study through literature" were important elements of community-based palliative care practice.
