Healthcare professionals' experiences in using a patient-reported outcome tool (PRO-Pall) to identify symptoms and problems in palliative care: A mixed-methods study.
Observational study in Palliative & supportive care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate healthcare professionals' experiences with using the PRO Palliative Care questionnaire (PRO-Pall) to identify palliative care symptoms and problems in non-specialized palliative care settings among patients with heart, lung, and kidney disease, and cancer. The study also investigated the PRO-Pall's potential to ensure further initiatives and care.

resultsThe findings highlight that it can be valuable to utilize the PRO-Pall in general palliative care settings for patients with heart, lung, or kidney diseases as well as cancer. When implementing PRO-Pall in practice, it is crucial to carefully consider the entire process, from administering the questionnaire to planning initiatives informed by patients' PRO responses.
