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
This paper presents the official position statement of the Japan Geriatrics Society (JGS), updating the "2012 JGS Position Statement" regarding end-of-life (EOL) care for older adults. The "2025 JGS Position Statement," which was recently published in Japanese, introduces an original definition of EOL, conceptualizing it in two stages: first, based on the individual's medical condition, and subsequently, from the perspective of the individual's life story. In this statement, EOL care refers to medical treatment and care provided at the end of life, grounded in appropriate medical judgment, respecting the individual's way of life, and safeguarding their dignity until death. To the best of our knowledge, no previous definitions have conceptualized EOL in this two-stage manner. The best EOL care described in this statement centers on the principles and practices of palliative care and integrates not only medical knowledge and techniques for diagnosis and treatment but also the collective intellectual and cultural achievements from the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Addressing the psychosocial needs of family members is also an essential component of EOL care. The "2025 JGS Position Statement" presents 10 positions to protect the human rights and dignity of older adults, beginning with opposition to ageism and further promoting palliative care, especially in the field of non-cancer diseases.
