Integrating care across the life course supports goal-aligned end-of-life care.
Review in Communications medicine, 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
As global populations age and lifespan increases, health systems too often conceptualize "healthy aging" and "end-of-life care" as distinct phases. Yet emerging evidence from geroscience, palliative care, and health systems science suggests that aging and dying lie on a continuum of adaptation and care. This Perspective proposes a framework that treats system-supported, goal-aligned end-of-life care as a public health outcome of integrated life-course care and argues for system redesign to introduce earlier palliative approaches, align care models across the life-course, and reduce health disparities. This article outlines key mechanisms, evidence for integration, a conceptual model, and implications.
