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

The aim of this study was to assess nursing students' perceptions of spiritual care, their attitudes toward death, and the impact of a palliative spiritual care course on these perceptions and attitudes. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test structure and two groups. Data were collected through the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and Death Attitude Profile-Revised. The study group consisted of 106 students experimental (n = 53) and control group (n = 53), who took the public health nursing course in the 2021-2022 academic year. There was a significant difference between the mean scores on the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale, as well as the Death Attitude Profile-Revised, between the control group students and the experimental group students. The importance of spirituality and spiritual care should be emphasized in course content and internships by integrating relevant topics into the nursing curriculum and creating more training opportunities to help nurses develop skills for caring for dying patients and their families in palliative care units.
