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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsEpidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disorder causing extreme mucocutaneous fragility, requiring specialized, multidisciplinary care. Integrating palliative care into Epidermolysis bullosa management has proven beneficial in symptom control and psychosocial support. The aim of this study was to analyze the interdisciplinary intervention of the Dermatology Service and the Palliative Care and Complex Chronic Patient Team at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in pediatric patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.

methodsA descriptive qualitative design was used to explore the experiences of parents of children with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa and healthcare professionals at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital. Internal protocols were analyzed and open online surveys were conducted. Families were recruited through purposive sampling with DEBRA España's support, while healthcare professionals were invited from the Dermatology Service and the Palliative Care and Complex Chronic Patient Team.

resultsThe joint interdisciplinary intervention between the Dermatology Service and the Palliative Care and Complex Chronic Patient Team at SJDH, grounded in a palliative care approach, provides holistic and continuous support to patients and their families from birth throughout the entire life course. It incorporates spiritual care and community coordination, fosters autonomy and social inclusion, and aligns with international best practices established by specialized centers such as EB House Austria. This model stands as a replicable benchmark for the care of individuals with EB.

conclusionsThis qualitative study suggests that an interdisciplinary care model, grounded in palliative care and implemented from an early stage in a sustained manner, improves the quality of life of pediatric patients with RDEB and their families. The coordination between clinical and psychosocial teams, together with person-centered care, enhances family autonomy, promotes inclusion and addresses the comprehensive needs across the life course.
