Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Hospice Live Discharge.
Article in Journal of palliative medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Hospice care is designed to support the medical and psychosocial needs of individuals with serious illness and their caregivers through the dying process. Some individuals, though, leave hospice prior to death, generally referred to as disenrollment or a "live discharge." Live discharge from hospice is a common and often distressing issue for hospice patients, their caregivers, and also for hospice professionals and agencies. This paper discusses common issues surrounding live discharge that clinicians and other healthcare professionals should consider when dealing with live discharge in their own clinical practices. Where applicable, we provide practical steps for hospice and palliative care clinicians to better support patients and families through this critical care transition. Further, we offer strategic directions interprofessional clinicians can take to affect systemic change to improve live discharge experiences.
