The Impact of Hospice Care on the Prognosis, Quality of Life, and Emotional Well-being of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.
Trial report in Journal of hospice and palliative nursing : JHPN : the official journal of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic heart failure (CHF) represents a substantial public health challenge, impacting patients' emotional well-being, quality of life, and overall prognosis. Palliative care and hospice services are increasingly recognized in managing advanced CHF, yet their evidence-based benefits remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the influence of hospice care on CHF patient outcomes. A total of 120 inpatients with CHF were randomly assigned to receive either hospice care in addition to standard treatment (experimental group) or standard care alone (control group). Patient assessments included heart function classification, activities of daily living, Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire, anxiety scale, and pain assessment. Results demonstrated significant improvements in cardiac function, activities of daily living, anxiety levels, pain scores, and heart failure-related quality of life in the experimental group compared with controls. Reduced anxiety, enhanced emotional well-being, and overall health status improvements were particularly notable postintervention. Hospice care was associated with enhanced functional abilities, emotional well-being, pain management, and overall quality of life for CHF patients. In conclusion, this study underscores hospice care's positive impact on prognosis, quality of life, and emotional well-being in CHF, emphasizing its potential as a critical component in comprehensive CHF management strategies.
