Delphi method validation of a tool for planning home visits in palliative care: palliative care parametrisation tool.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 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
Background: Palliative care parametrisation tool (PCPT) was developed to standardise the planning of home visits in palliative care, specifically for the adult oncology population in Argentina. This study aimed to validate the nursing score (NS) component of the tool using the Delphi method. Methods: The NS was designed to quantify the caregiving burden based on patient-related factors. Two Delphi rounds were conducted with 19 expert palliative care professionals from Argentina, including 13 physicians and 6 nurses. The content validity of the NS was assessed using the Aiken V test and consensus was reached on the score assigned to each item. Results: The Aiken V test indicated high levels of concordance between experts for all categories evaluated, with statistical significance ( Conclusion: The NS is a valid instrument for determining the number of visits by nurses in home palliative care. The use of parameterisation tools like PCPT aligns with literature recommendations and offers a robust framework for optimising care provision. Future studies are needed to validate the remaining components of the tool.
