Challenges in the Management of Care of Brain-Dead Patients in the Donation Process: A Qualitative Content Analysis.
Article in International journal of organ transplantation medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn care of brain-dead patients, nurses face several challenges. It is important to determine the context behind these challenges since they affect the performance of nurses and the organ donation process.
objectiveTo identify factors affecting the emergence of challenges related to the management of brain-dead patients by nurses in the donation process.
methodsIn this qualitative conventional content analysis, data were collected by performing 28 semi-structured and in-depth interviews with nurses working in the ICUs. Purposive sampling started from March 2014 until saturation, which was reached in June 2016. Data analysis occurred simultaneously with data collection.
resultsQualitative analysis of contents provided from interviews led to the extraction of themes that showed the experience of nurses about the challenges of caring for brain-dead patients in the donation process. These themes included "doubt and conflict in accepting the situation" and "defects in an effective and targeted care system." In the end, the main theme of "inconsistency and incompatibility of care management" was abstracted.
conclusionAccording to the results of the study, factors involved in the emergence of challenges for nurses in care management included defects in education or managerial problems, which increased tension for nurses.
