Place of Death of Cancer Patients Treated at a German Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 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
Background: Public health research includes end-of-life care. Place of death is an indicator of end-of-life care quality. Objective: We assessed the place of death of cancer patients treated at a Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), caring for an average of 2220 primary cases per year. Methods: Dataset includes information on cancer patients who were treated at least once in a German CCC, died between 2009 and 2013, and for whom a place of death could be assigned. Data-reported following the "REporting of Studies Conducted Using Observational Routinely Collected Data" guideline-were retrieved from death registration and analyzed retrospectively. Descriptive analyses, frequency calculations, Pearson/Cramer's V chi-square tests, and Results: A total of 5855 patients were analyzed (metastases Conclusion: Even if treated in certified centers, CCC cancer patients have a high in-hospital mortality rate. The place of death reflects care structures and disease progression, highlighting the need for palliative care. As frequent death sites, CCCs should offer specialized palliative services. Further research is needed to better align the place of death with patient wishes.
