Decision-making process regarding passive euthanasia: Theory of planned behavior framework.
Article in Nursing ethics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundNurses have an essential role in caring for end-of-life patients. Nevertheless, the nurse's involvement in the passive euthanasia decision-making process is insufficient and lower than expected.
objectivesTo explore factors associated with nurses' intention to be involved in non-treatment decisions (NTD) regarding passive euthanasia decision-making versus their involvement in the palliative care of patients requesting euthanasia, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework.
designA cross-sectional study utilizing a random sample. PARTICIPANTS AND RESEARCH CONTEXT: The study was conducted in one of the largest hospitals in Israel among 125 nurses employed in internal and surgical care wards. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews between March and April 2019.
methodA closed structured questionnaire was developed according to TPB instructions. A paired sample ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The study was approved by the hospital's Helsinki Committee (#20.11.2017).
findingsA paired sample
conclusionsAccording to the TPB, nurses' attitudes explained their intention to participate in decision-making regarding passive euthanasia. It is recommended to enhance open discussion of this complex issue to encourage nurses' willingness to participate in NTD decision-making regarding euthanasia.
