Pain, palliative care, and the politics of dying: Rethinking suffering in the assisted suicide debate.
Article in British journal of pain, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pain is cited as a fundamental rationale behind the campaign for 'assisted dying' (assisted suicide and euthanasia). However, current legislative proposals for England and Wales before the Westminster Parliament are silent on pain and on suffering. For patients to have real choice, they must be able to access the care they need, not feel coerced into viewing an early death as their only option. Yet current palliative care provision is dependent on voluntary donations, with severe deficits in some areas that urgently need to be addressed.
