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

Psychological symptoms are notably prevalent in palliative care (PC) settings, significantly impacting quality of life for patients and their families. Given the inherent multidimensionality of suffering in PC, addressing these psychological aspects is essential. This article aims to introduce and integrate discrete concepts from various schools of psychotherapy, which are directly applicable to PC practices, thereby providing clinicians with a rich toolkit to manage psychological distress. The article focuses on 10 key concepts from different psychotherapeutic traditions. They are a small sample from the vast and deep pool of wisdom contained in psychotherapeutic theory, and they were selected due to their direct applicability to PC practice. Adopting psychotherapeutic principles, along with leveraging the interdisciplinary wisdom inherent in PC practice, enhances our therapeutic relationships in PC and empowers patients to navigate their illness with greater resilience and adaptive coping.
