Identifying patient-centered communication barriers in palliative care.

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
objectiveTo identify patient-centered communication barriers among palliative care patients and to explore their relationship with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 124 patients hospitalized in the palliative care clinic of a state hospital. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Data Form and the Patient-Centered Communication Barriers Scale. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and multiple linear regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.
resultsAnalysis showed that the presence of a caregiver was significantly associated with lower levels of insecurity (β = -0.542, p = 0.022, 95% CI [-1.001, -0.081]), explaining 7.6% of the variance in insecurity (Adjusted R2 = 0.076). However, the association between caregiver presence and perceived prejudice was not statistically significant (β = 0.202, p = 0.08).
conclusionThe findings indicate that palliative care patients experience notable communication barriers, particularly related to insecurity. Structured caregiver involvement may help reduce insecurity-related communication barriers and support more effective patient-centered communication in palliative care settings.
