[PARPACT: Paramedic Palliative Care Test : Validation of a questionnaire to assess palliative care knowledge and self-efficacy expectations of paramedics].

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
backgroundGiven the large number of palliative patients cared for by the emergency services, education and training in palliative care topics are playing an increasingly important role. To support decision-making in an emergency setting a palliative or emergency card has been introduced in many cities.
objectivesTo assess the success of educational interventions and the effect of the palliative or emergency card, a questionnaire was developed and validated to determine palliative knowledge and palliative self-efficacy expectations in the emergency services. MATERIALS AND
methodsA Delphi process was applied for development and content validation. Factor analysis was used for construct validation. Criterion validity was assessed with the help of 22 nurses specially trained in palliative care. Reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha as a measure of internal consistency.
resultsIn all, 291 of 750 paramedics participated in the voluntary survey. After completion of the Delphi process, there was consensus that the important topics of pain, dyspnea, sedation, end-of-life care, euthanasia, and legal aspects were covered in the questionnaire. Factor analysis was in favor of a six-factor solution. Criterion validation revealed a significant difference in palliative knowledge between palliative care nurses (M
conclusionsThe Paramedic Palliative Care Test (PARPACT) is a validated measurement tool for testing educational interventions in paramedicine.
