Evaluation of the effect of death education based on the Peace of Mind Tea House: a randomized controlled trial of nursing trainees at Xiamen University, China.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07737028 (The Effect of Web-Based End-of-Life and Post-Mortem Care Education on Nursing Students' Post-Mortem Self-Efficacy, Death Literacy, and Attitudes Toward the Principles of a Dignified Death), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundThere are few studies on death education models for nursing students in China. It is of great significance to construct a model of nursing students' death education combined with clinical practice. This study aims to evaluate the effect of death education on nursing students based on the Peace of Mind Tea House.
methodsThe randomized controlled trial commenced from February 7 to March 18, 2021,featuring a two-month intercession at a hospital situated in Xiamen, China. The research subjects were chosen using a convenient sampling approach with nursing students from the hospital's internship program. Ninety-two participants were enrolled, with 46 in each group. Thirteen participants were lost to follow-up, corresponding to 14% of the total study population. The samples were then allocated randomly into either the intervention group or the control group. In addition to their hospital internship, the intervention group participated in six death education courses that focused on cognitive, emotional, and motor skills as well as the "Peace of Mind Tea House" program. Control participants will undergo regular internships. Before and two weeks after the course, both groups were evaluated for death anxiety, attitude towards death, and the meaning of life to assess the intervention's effectiveness.
resultsIn the fear of death item of the Death Attitude Scale and the meaning of life section, the post-test score minus the pre-test score of the intervention group were 2.50 ± 3.90 (p = 0.011), and 8.90 ± 11.07 (p = 0.035), respectively. During the communication and sharing session of the reassurance card activity, 41 participants (95.3%) found the activity meaningful.
conclusionOur data analysis demonstrates that nursing students have accepted and acknowledged the Peace of Mind Tea House-based education on death, which positively impacted their attitudes towards deathand the meaning of life. The content of death education should be integrated with traditional culture, and a new model of death education should be constructed with the Heart to Heart cards as its core. This research presents proof of the efficacy of implementing appropriate death education for nursing students, and provides a successful intervention plan to alleviate their future death anxiety and develop a positive outlook on death.
