The mediating effects of death reflection on death literacy and death anxiety among Chinese nurses: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of death reflection on death literacy and death anxiety in clinical nurses. A sample of 2,882 nurses in China were selected by convenience sampling. A socio-demographic questionnaire, a death literacy scale, a death reflection scale, and a death anxiety scale were used to investigate. The results showed that death literacy was positively correlated with death reflection, but was negatively correlated with death anxiety. Furthermore, death literacy can influence death anxiety through the mediating effect of death reflection. We therefore suggest that relevant departments and institutions should seek optimal strategies to strengthen nurses' death literacy training and promote death reflection in order to improve their death anxiety.
