Paediatrics and discomfort with death and dying.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Death and dying, while uncommon in day-to-day paediatrics practice, are becoming increasingly common occurrences as children with life-limiting illnesses are living longer. We reflect on our experiences with death and dying in our residency training and whether paediatrics, as a specialty, is uncomfortable with death. Paediatric trainees should be included in honest discussions about disease trajectories and participate in providing end-of-life care. Anticipatory guidance helps personalize care and can prevent unnecessary procedures or suffering that patients may experience. While trainees may not be present at the end-of-life for many patients, managing death and dying are important competencies for future paediatricians. Current paediatricians should reflect on their comfort with death and how this may impact their patient care.
