[Status of palliative care education in Germany : A survey of medical faculties in 2018].
Review in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTo investigate the development in palliative care education in Germany, numerous surveys have been conducted since 2006. They showed differences of palliative care education between the faculties before and after the implementation of palliative care as a mandatory subject. The present study aims to document the status of palliative care education at German medical faculties in 2018. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing an online questionnaire with 19 questions, the structure, organization, content, and assessment of palliative care education of German medical faculties were assessed.
resultsOf the 37 participating faculties, 30 reported improvements in terms of structural aspects, e.g., there were more palliative care units and full professorships. Due to increasing opportunities for final year rotations and innovative, practical teaching, students can now deepen their knowledge, skills, and attitude in palliative care.
conclusionThis study showed clear progression in palliative care education. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in terms of examination formats and professorships. Complementary surveys with students would be helpful to evaluate the education outcome.
