Achievements and Barriers in Hospice and Palliative Social Work Practice: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of hospice and palliative care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: Hospice and palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and care designed to meet the needs of patients and their families at the end of life. Social workers are essential members of the hospice team, but their role is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to explore achievements and barriers in hospice social work practice and to suggest strategies for enhancing the role of social workers. Methods: The participants were 10 social workers who had worked in hospice institutions for over 5 years and were recruited based on reputational case sampling. Data were collected through two focus group interviews, and were qualitatively analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Through the data analysis, two topics (achievements in hospice social work practice, barriers to achievements in hospice social work practice), five categories, 17 subcategories, and 182 concepts were derived. Conclusion: Based on an in-depth discussion of our key findings, we propose several types of institutional support, including expanding the hospice social work workforce, improving competence through education and supervision, developing professional programs and community resources, and refining methods for measuring achievements.
