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

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in South Korea and imposes substantial physical, emotional, and economic burdens on patients, families, and society. Despite the high symptom burden and complex care needs of patients with HF, palliative care and hospice services remain underutilized owing to cultural, institutional, and knowledge-related barriers. This guideline from the Korean Society of Heart Failure (KSHF) provides evidence-based recommendations to integrate palliative and hospice care across the HF disease trajectory, with the aim of improving quality of life, alleviating suffering, and supporting holistic care for patients and their caregivers. By clarifying the role and scope of palliative care in HF, and suggesting models for collaborative care between cardiology and palliative teams, these recommendations seek to bridge the gap between HF and palliative care services in South Korea and to promote goal-concordant, patient-centered decision-making.
