Patients' palliative care needs in rural health and a proposal for palliation services.

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
Few patients and their families receive palliative care (PC), and if provided, it is usually in the end stages of the disease. In the past, these services were rendered by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), but after the dedicated South African palliative care policy was released, the responsibility of PC service delivery is at the provincial level. Department of Health's National Policy Framework and Strategy on PC was a major step forward in palliation; however, the services are not yet reaching the rural areas in North West province. This article highlights the need for PC for patients and their families in rural health. A model is suggested to facilitate these services under the leadership of a family physician.
