Palliative care training in medical undergraduate education: a survey among the faculty.
Article in BMC palliative care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundA minority of European countries have compulsory training in palliative care within all medical schools. The aim of the study was to examine palliative care education in Estonia.
methodsWe used the adapted version of the Palliative Education Assessment Tool (PEAT) to evaluate palliative care education at the University of Tartu, the only medical school in Estonia. The PEAT comprises of different palliative care domains and allows for assessing the curricula for palliative care education.
results26 hours (h) of palliative care is taught within the basic medical curriculum, which is divided between 14 courses. Ethical issues (4 h, lecture and seminar) and basics of palliative care (2.5 h, lecture) are well covered however, pain and symptom management (12.5 h, lecture, seminar, workshop), psychosocial, spiritual aspects (5.5 h, seminar), and communication (1.5 h, lecture) teaching do not reach the recommended number of hours. Teamwork and self-reflection are not taught at all.
conclusionsIncreased time, more diverse teaching strategies and clear learning outcomes are required to enable the development of palliative care education in Estonia. The teaching and learning of palliative care is a process that requires constant development and collaboration.
