Critical Care Nurses' Attitudes, Roles, and Barriers Regarding Breaking Bad News.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
This study examines critical care nurses' attitudes, roles, experience, education, and barriers regarding breaking the bad news. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used in this study. A convenience sample of 210 critical care nurses completed the study. Most of the critical care nurses contributed to breaking bad news and they were involved in different roles in this process and they had a positive attitude regarding breaking bad news. In this study, (75.2%) of the participants reported that they did not receive any specific training regarding breaking bad news. In addition, nurses face various barriers when breaking bad news. Critical care nurses' involvement in breaking bad news should be encouraged. Most barriers to BBN were negatively associated with nurses' roles, attitudes, and experiences during BBN. Administrators should promote the involvement of critical care nurses in breaking bad news and strengthen them through addressing the challenges they face in the process of BBN.
