Autonomy in adolescents in palliative care and its biopsychosocial impact: A systematic review.
Review in Palliative care and social practice, 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: Adolescence is a period of significant physical, psychological, and social changes, which can be intensified by the diagnosis of serious or chronic illnesses. This makes promoting autonomy in palliative care particularly challenging. Aim: The present review aimed to identify factors and strategies that promote the autonomy of adolescents in palliative care. Design: We conducted a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. This systematic review synthesized existing literature and evidence regarding communication, involvement, and psychosocial support strategies in adolescent palliative care. Methods: The study examined various tools and models, including Voicing My Choices, Building Our Solutions Together for Pediatric Advance Care Planning (BOOST-pACP), and the Family-Centered Advance Care Planning (FACE) model, to evaluate their effectiveness in facilitating communication, family support, and decision-making. Results: Effective communication tools and family-centered approaches are crucial for promoting adolescent autonomy. Strategies focused on open communication, psychosocial support, and active adolescent involvement in decisions can enhance autonomy, although further research is needed to assess their effectiveness. Conclusion: Implementing communication facilitation, psychosocial support, and adolescent involvement strategies is essential. Despite the need for more evidence, the review offers a set of recommendations to support the autonomy of adolescents in palliative care.
