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

Paramedics and Palliative Care is an example of a promising practice ("pilot") that underwent successful spread and scale across Canada. Through the support of two pan-Canadian health organizations and concurrent evolution of the profession of paramedicine, this innovation has become integrated into practice. Evaluation of the innovation sites showed positive impact in all elements of the Quintuple Aim, and data from the expansion sites mirrors this success. Paramedic comfort and confidence is improved. Patient and family satisfaction is high. Quality indicators such as time spent at home, and home deaths, improved after program launch. There are time and cost savings with the program in place. The framework that enabled this spread and scale is presented and elaborated, to support further uptake of this innovation and provide a blueprint for successful expansion of other promising practices to support healthcare improvement across Canada.
