The ASCENT Consortium: A New Resource to Support Palliative Care Science Across the Lifespan.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2026. 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
The ASCENT Consortium was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in August 2025 with the goal of advancing palliative care (PC) research, evidence, implementation and practice to improve care of persons with serious illness and those who care for them across the lifespan. ASCENT aims to: (1) Develop and coordinate the national scientific infrastructure and community needed to advance PC research, marshalling research expertise currently distributed across research centers and leveraging the impact of that expertise via partnership and collaboration. Partners include persons who have lived experiences with serious illness personally or as caregivers, practicing clinicians, patient advocacy organizations, professional organizations, community organizations, health care systems/settings/payers across the continuum of care and other NIH-funded consortia and networks. (2) Generate new PC research knowledge and methodologies, directly by conducting projects to establish new knowledge or methods that support the work of PC scientists. (3) Foster career development and impact of the PC scientist workforce by funding career development and pilot and exploratory awards, providing access to methodologic consultations and resources such as PC research methodology and career development curricula and facilitating mentoring. (4) Disseminate PC research findings and facilitate subsequent implementation via a multi-pronged approach, including providing resource libraries, guidance documents, best practices, training, and toolkits to facilitate collaboration and co-design with health system partners and relevant organizations. This article describes the goals, organization, resources, programs and activities of the ASCENT Consortium, intending to raise awareness about ASCENT and encourage engagement with, utilization of and collaboration with ASCENT.
