Why Is Community-Based Palliative Care Declined? Older Adult, Caregiver, and Provider Perspectives.
Article in Journal of palliative medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundPalliative care can help manage health challenges of seriously ill individuals, including persons living with dementia (PLWD), but is often declined.
objectiveExplore why seriously ill individuals and caregivers decline palliative care.
methodsA pilot study using semi-structured interviews with three Medicare Advantage plan members and 15 caregivers, including 13 caregivers of PLWD, who declined palliative care (PC) within the previous year and focus groups with five PC staff.
resultsReasons for declining included mis-association with hospice, not seeing additional benefit to current care, and reluctance to change current care. PC staff provided additional reasons: challenges engaging with the outreach team, need for family-based decision-making, and reluctance to engage with unfamiliar persons.
conclusionsIncremental adjustments in PC communication may facilitate uptake, including providing explanations that are distinct from hospice, tailored to care needs, focused on reducing illness burden, and introduced by the current care team.
