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

Every paediatrician's career includes the provision of care for children with life-limiting conditions. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario published a revised policy, "Decision-making for End-of-Life Care," in March 2023; in this commentary we explore the ramifications of this policy for community and acute care paediatricians in Ontario and highlight principles to contextualize this beyond provincial borders. In particular we discuss its impact upon clinicians' moral distress and the importance of: i) early and longitudinal engagement with patients and families, where possible, to contextualize the role of resuscitative measures (if any) in addition to the many other important considerations concerning high quality end-of-life care; and ii) preventing bias and calibrating decision-making with clinical colleagues (including Bioethics) to ensure CPR is never withheld because of a child's
