Describing and monitoring quality in value-based palliative and end-of-life care at a population level in Wales: achievements and future direction.
Article in BMJ supportive & palliative care, 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
Improving and monitoring quality of palliative and end-of-life care is well documented within current and historic literature. However, there is a paucity of evidence around national data-informed approaches to ensure healthcare services are delivering high-quality, equitable care that meets the needs of the population within the last year of life. Wales has a legal 'Duty of Quality' obligation and has taken on the challenge to measure and monitor quality within the healthcare system at a population level within the last year of life, creating a dashboard using nationally held routine data. This manuscript aims to document the progress made in Wales to describe and monitor quality in care for people within the last year of life at a population level against the six domains of quality and discusses requirements and challenges of the approach and its future direction.
