The effect of end-of-life care awareness education on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of intensive care nurses: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Nursing in critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundEducation in end-of-life care (EoLC) is essential for improving the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of intensive care nurses.
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of online awareness education, based on the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium, on the knowledge levels, attitudes and behaviours of intensive care nurses. STUDY
designThis single-centre randomized controlled study. This study was performed in a tertiary intensive care unit in a university-affiliated hospital. Seventy-six intensive care nurses were selected and equally randomized. In the education, the group was given an EoLC awareness education programme on an online platform as 40-60-min sessions once a week for 4 weeks. The descriptive Information Form, EoLC Knowledge Test and the Nurses' Attitudes and Behaviours towards the EoLC Scale were used. In the study, intensive care nurses' knowledge, attitude and behaviour levels towards EoLC were evaluated before and after 4 weeks (±3 days) following the education.
resultsWhen the mean post-education scores of the nurses in the education group were compared with the control group, it was found that their mean scores on the EoLC Knowledge Test (p = .001, Cohen's d = 1.354, 95% CI = 3.240-6.549), the attitude sub-dimension (p = .001, Cohen's d = 1.520, 95% CI = 4.510-7.858), the behaviour sub-dimension (p = .001, Cohen's d = 1.425, 95% CI = 3.206-6.214) and the total attitude and behaviour (p = .001, Cohen's d = 1.927, 95% CI = 8.408-13.643) were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group.
conclusionThis study showed that EoLC awareness education positively affected nurses' knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. Accordingly, planning EoLC awareness education online at regular intervals may be recommended for intensive care nurses. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Intensive care nurses may be given online EoLC awareness education to positively affect their knowledge, attitudes and behaviours about EoLC. Online EoLC education can be effective in terms of reaching a large number of nurses, time and cost.
