1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Family caregivers of terminally ill cancer patients prepare for a patient's death. Nursing-care for preparedness is effective for their psychological health. This study aims to structuralize nursing-care for preparedness and extract related factors while presenting the implications for improved quality of care. Data from a cross-sectional survey of general ward and palliative care unit nurses in designated cancer care hospitals (n=561) was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analyses. The results of the analysis, the structure was classified into "Nurse-centered support" and "Support through inter-professional work." Both supports were practiced significantly more frequently in palliative care units than general wards. Related factors in general wards were; communication skills, cooperation with doctors, the existence of certified nurse/certified nurse specialists as consultants, attitudes toward care of the dying, frequency of death conferences, and cooperation with specialist cancer counselors. Therefore, the results can help improve the quality of family care in palliative care, especially in general wards.
