Clinical and care profile of patients admitted to an intermediate stay palliative care unit (UCPME) in the community of Madrid.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionWe present data on the clinical care activity and trajectories of a prospective cohort of 400 patients admitted to an intermediate stay palliative care unit (UCPME) in Madrid. MATERIALS AND
methodsEpidemiological data and clinical progression variables were collected. The main differences between oncological and non-oncological patients and age-related differences were described.
results295 oncologic and 105 non-oncological patients were admitted to palliative care. Patients with non-oncological conditions were older (p < 0.001). The referral source was home in 38% and hospital departments in 63%. 350 patients (87.5%) died. Early mortality occurred in 48%. Occupational therapy was provided to 13.8%. Intravenous continuous drug was used in 41% and subcutaneous in 48.5%. Palliative sedation for refractory symptoms was required in 54.5%. Advance care planning was conducted in 96% of admissions.
conclusionsThe care processes revealed a few differences in clinical trajectories between oncological and non-oncological conditions or across age groups.
