1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPeople with intellectual disabilities face inequities in access to end-of-life care and inequalities in its quality and delivery. This review aimed to synthesise qualitative evidence to understand their own perspectives about what contributes to optimal end-of-life care. METHODOLOGY: Data from 93 participants in five qualitative studies were thematically synthesised to identify optimal care and inform recommendations.

resultsFour overarching and interrelated analytical themes were generated. (1) Optimal care recognises heterogeneity and is person-centred. It aligns with individuals' wishes and preferences which are established through 'active' communication. (2) This enables an individual's holistic support needs to be identified. (3) It fulfils ethical obligations around autonomy, equity and a person's 'right to know'. (4) It involves the necessary people to ensure all needs are met.

conclusionOptimal end-of-life care is person-centred, holistic, uses 'active' communication, meets ethical obligations and involves the necessary people in care.
