Reach of Palliative Care in Parkinson Disease: Progress and Gaps After a National Team-Based Implementation Project.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 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 AND
objectivesThe value of palliative care (PC) is increasingly recognized in the care of people with Parkinson disease (PWP) and their carepartners. While clinical trials demonstrate PC improves quality of life for PWP and carepartners, little is known about the impact of PC on their experiences of receiving care in real-world settings. We designed and implemented a national outpatient PC project at the Parkinson's Foundation US-based Centers of Excellence (COEs) between August 2021 and November 2023. We aimed to assess preimplementation vs postimplementation changes in perceptions and experiences of PWP and carepartners related to the receipt of PC.
methodsBetween September and October 2023, an electronic survey was distributed through the Parkinson's Foundation to PWP and carepartners who received care at US-based COEs and non-COEs. Survey questions assessed knowledge, perceptions, and experiences related to PC. Preimplementation and postimplementation data were compared.
resultsSurveys were distributed to 12,946 PWP and carepartners; 1,778 participants (1,247 PWP, 531 carepartners) responded. At COEs, PWP reported significant increases in non-motor symptom (NMS) assessment (76.5%-86.7%, DISCUSSION: PWP and carepartners' perceptions and experiences of care were stronger postimplementation in many, but not all, aspects of PC. As changes were seen in both COEs and non-COEs, it is unclear to what degree findings relate to direct or indirect impacts of team-based implementation of PC vs other broader temporal trends, such as community-level increased awareness of PC. Findings highlight progress and gaps, underscoring the need for continued efforts for cultural and systemic changes to integrate PC into routine PD care.
