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

To evaluate the family members' psychosocial support during specialist palliative inpatient care. Cross-sectional study. The "Family Involvement Scale-Psychosocial Support in Palliative Inpatient Care" (FIS-PS-InPal) questionnaire was used to collect data from family members from specialized palliative care wards across Finland. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In total, 171 family members from 16 wards across Finland participated in the study. Family members evaluated the support they received as close to ideal, with 19.9% of participants reporting that the support was less than desired. They rated psycho-emotional support and support practices as the strongest and informational support as the weakest. The psychosocial support that family members receive in specialist palliative care is generally adequate. However, efforts should be made to improve how information is communicated. The study underscores the importance of evaluating and addressing the unique support implementation for families in palliative care.
