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
introductionThe role of nurses working in critical care setup is one of the key members for optimal provision of the palliative care and end-of-life care (EOLC). This study aims to assess knowledge, attitude, practices, and perceived barriers regarding palliative and EOLC among critical care nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 386 critical care nurses of a tertiary care center, selected through convenience sampling technique. Data related to knowledge, attitude, practices, and perceived barriers were collected using a standardized tool. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.
resultsWe observed that mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of critical care nurses were 9.83 ± 2.50 of 20, 104.91 ± 13.04 of 150, and 17.61 ± 4.36 of 27, respectively. One of the major barriers in providing palliative and EOLC was being called for attending to other newly admitted patients. The mean knowledge score of nurses was found to be significantly higher among female nurses (
conclusionThere is a considerable gap between critical care nurses' knowledge and practices, in spite of having a good attitude regarding palliative and EOLC. This necessitates the strengthening of both preservice and in-service education for nurses.
