The need for oral assessment and referral practices tool for palliative patients in Brunei Darussalam: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Aim: This study aimed to investigate knowledge, experiences, perceptions and barriers of healthcare professionals regarding palliative oral care. Methods: The study involved 169 palliative care professionals in Brunei. Data collection tool was pretested, validated and self-administered with sections on demographics; knowledge, attitude and practices; referral of patients; perspectives; and barriers to oral palliative care. Results: 97.3% of participants believed that palliative patients need oral care, and 11.6% of participants were trained in this area. 43.8% were unsure about referral process, and 66.1% of participants had never used a tool to assess oral conditions of palliative patients. Most common oral condition encountered was mucositis (54.5%). 74.1% of participants expected family members to be responsible, and the absence of proper guidelines for assessment (66.1%) was the top challenge in providing oral care for palliative patients. Conclusion: This study highlights perceptions and experiences of healthcare professionals and need for improved care through development of oral assessment and referral practices tool for palliative patients.
