Article in Cureus, 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
The incorporation of a palliative evaluation and care plan development for patients with serious illness is becoming a standard of care in modern medicine. For patients with complex challenges, palliative care physicians are well trained to offer specialized treatment plans and interventions to mitigate symptoms. This case presents the challenges of a mixed hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma initially diagnosed in a 17-year-old male. Despite attempts at aggressive cancer-directed treatment, disease progression prompted referral for a palliative evaluation at age 20. Challenges unique to this case include malignant gastric outlet obstruction and refractory hypoglycemia. Through fostering a strong relationship with the patient, our team was able to identify his values and facilitate an individualized palliative and hospice care plan, which included endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy and continuous at-home dextrose infusions. This case highlights the advancements of palliative medicine in the context of procedural and home intervention, enabling the care team to align the patient's values with his end-of-life goals.
