Palliative Care and Advanced Cardiovascular Disease in Adults: Not Just End-of-Life Care: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Review in Circulation, 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
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults despite recent scientific advancements. Although people are living longer lives, there may be an adverse impact on quality of life, necessitating a greater need for palliative care services and support. Palliative care for adults with advanced cardiovascular disease has the potential to significantly improve quality of life for individuals living with cardiovascular disease and their informal care partners. Effective communication, shared decision-making, age-friendly care principles, and advance care planning are vital components of palliative care and support comprehensive and holistic care throughout the advanced cardiovascular disease trajectory and across care settings. Current evidence highlights the benefits of palliative care in managing symptoms, reducing psychological distress, and supporting both people with cardiovascular disease and their care partners. However, significant gaps exist in palliative care research related to non-heart failure populations, care partner outcomes, and palliative care implementation in diverse populations. This scientific statement (1) discusses the application of effective communication, shared decision-making, age-friendly care, and advance care planning in advanced cardiovascular disease palliative care; (2) provides a summary of recent evidence related to palliative care and symptom management, quality of life, spiritual and psychological support, and bereavement support in individuals with advanced cardiovascular disease and their care partners; (3) discusses issues involving diversity, equity, and inclusion in cardiovascular disease palliative care; (4) highlights the ethical and legal concerns surrounding palliative care and implanted cardiac devices; and (5) provides strategies for palliative care engagement in adults with advanced cardiovascular disease for the care team.
