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
Current research surrounding the experiences of hospice staff is significantly underdeveloped. Additionally, the stigmatisation of death in Western society has formed delusions of hospice care amongst the general public. These findings gained an insight of the lived experiences of six hospice staff across England and Wales, through an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Eight superordinate themes were identified; 'COVID-19 as a barrier to care delivery', 'Discomfort is key for personal growth', 'Self-preservation is paramount', 'Psychological impact of hospice environment', 'Internal conflict surrounding life and death', 'Complexities of a firm belief system', 'Utopian view of hospices' and 'Colleagues are a pillar of support'. All narratives shared overarching themes on growth, acceptance, and morality. These findings have future implications at the organisational level, identifying areas for adjustment for employee wellbeing. Furthermore, this may also educate aspiring end-of-life care staff in preparation for the reality of hospice environments.
