Comparison of resuscitation intervention utilization in the emergency department by palliative care eligible patients between cancer and non-cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Resuscitation interventions are procedures for managing clinical deterioration in patients with life-threatening conditions by securing the airway, maintaining breathing, or supporting circulation. Little is known about differences in the use of resuscitation interventions and the characteristics of patients eligible for palliative care in the emergency department. The objectives of this study are to compare resuscitation interventions in the emergency department between patients with cancer and non-cancer palliative care eligibility. A retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of the palliative care eligible patients who visited the emergency department of one university hospital between January and June 2019. Among the 956 visits (13.7%) by palliative care eligible patients of 7000 random visits, 480 were patients with cancer (50.2%), and 476 were non-cancer patients (49.8%). The overall median age was 72, and 54.1% were female. The mortality rates in the following year were 35.0% for patients with cancer and 18.7% for non-cancer illnesses. The patients with cancer and non-cancer received prior palliative care at 7.3% and 0.8% (p < 0.001) and initiated palliative care at the emergency department at 6.3% and 2.7%, respectively (p = 0.008). The non-cancer patients utilized overall resuscitation interventions 1.7 times more than the cancer patients (aOR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.0-2.6, p = 0.030). For the palliative care eligible patients in the emergency department, patients with cancer and non-cancer significantly differed in their characteristics. Patients with non-cancer received more resuscitation interventions than patients with cancer.
