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

objectivesDespite the increasing implementation of consultation-based hospice palliative care teams in tertiary hospitals of Korea, there is limited research on their impact on self-determination respect rates. Understanding this impact is crucial for improving end-of-life care practices and respecting patient autonomy. The aim of this study is to assess the trends in self-determination respect rates regarding advance care planning before and after the introduction of a consultation-based hospice palliative care team in a tertiary hospital.

methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted using medical records from a tertiary hospital in Korea from March 2018 to December 2023. The study included all patients aged 19 years and older with medical records at a tertiary hospital during the specified period. We examined the characteristics of patients referred to the palliative care team, the effects of the consultation-based hospice palliative care team on the completion rates of advanced care planning, and changes in self-determination respect rates.

resultsFollowing the introduction of the consultation-based hospice palliative care team, 411 patients were referred. The proportion of patients with completed advance care planning increased from 27.0% to 60.6% ( SIGNIFICANCE OF

resultsIntroduction of a consultation-based hospice palliative care team improved the respect for patient self-determination in end-of-life care decisions. These findings support the integration of hospice care teams in tertiary hospitals to enhance early and informed end-of-life decision-making.
