Barriers and Facilitators of Early Palliative Care in the Trajectory of People Living with Chronic Condition: A Mini Review Using Socio-ecological Framework to Inform Public Health Strategy.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 increasing incidence of chronic conditions on a global scale requires a comprehensive approach to palliative care, which is recognized as an essential element of the continuum of care for people with life-threatening conditions. It has been argued that the integration of early palliative care for people with chronic conditions is beneficial. Nevertheless, barriers to integrating early palliative care have been extensively not reviewed. This review aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators of integrating early palliative care for people living with chronic conditions, employing a socio-ecological framework to provide a critical understanding of the influencing factors at multiple levels. The method was a mini review. This review emphasizes the complex and diverse factors that either hinder or facilitate progress in four areas: individual (such as gaps in knowledge and emotional reactions), interpersonal (such as support from family caregiver), healthcare professionals and policy (such as barriers in education, guidelines, and collaboration among professionals), and community (such as societal knowledge and attitudes). Each level presents unique challenges and opportunities for enhancing early palliative care integration, from addressing misconceptions and fears at the individual level, to fostering supportive policies and community awareness. In conclusion, the effective management of early palliative care requires a comprehensive strategy that spans various dimensions, including educational initiatives, policy adjustments, and active involvements of the community. Healthcare systems are supposed to enhance the integration of early palliative care into the trajectory of chronic conditions and enhance the quality of life of affected persons and their families by recognizing and addressing the socio-ecological elements involved.
