Attitudes toward Medically Assisted Dying Among the General Public in Slovenia.
Article in Omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of this study was to explore public attitudes toward medically assisted dying, focusing on the role of socio-demographic factors, mental health conditions, and personal experiences. Data were collected via an online panel in Slovenia, which consisted of 567 participants (53.1% men) aged 18 years and older. The majority of respondents supported medically assisted dying for terminally ill individuals (76.4%) and expressed willingness to support a loved one's decision (72.8%). The analysis indicated that psychosocial factors and personal experiences predict attitudes toward medically assisted dying. In particular, women, individuals with poorer physical and psychological health and individuals in better environmental conditions were more likely to have positive attitudes. In contrast, individuals who had experienced the loss of a loved one were more likely to oppose it. These findings suggest the need for further research to deepen understanding of the factors that predict attitudes toward medically assisted dying.
