Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and Correlates in Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Quantitative Insights from Final-Year Nursing and Medical Students in a Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Palliative care and social practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07737028 (The Effect of Web-Based End-of-Life and Post-Mortem Care Education on Nursing Students' Post-Mortem Self-Efficacy, Death Literacy, and Attitudes Toward the Principles of a Dignified Death), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Introduction: About a decade after the introduction of palliative care teaching for undergraduate nurses and medical students in Uganda, no research has examined students' knowledge and self-efficacy to provide palliative and end-of-life care and their correlates. Aims: To: (1) estimate final-year undergraduate nursing and medical students' knowledge of and self-efficacy to provide palliative and end-of-life care, (2) identify correlates of knowledge and self-efficacy to provide palliative and end-of-life care. Design: A multicentre cross-sectional quantitative study. Setting/participants: Final-year undergraduate medical and nursing students in eight medical and nursing schools in Uganda. Instruments included biodata sheet, the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing questionnaire and the Palliative Care Self-Efficacy scale. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 14.0. Results: The mean age of the participants ( Conclusion: Participants generally demonstrated limited knowledge and insufficient self-efficacy in providing palliative and end-of-life care. There is a need to integrate and strengthen practical, pedagogical and experiential teaching, review the palliative care curriculum. Future evaluative, longitudinal and interventional as well as qualitative studies are needed to gain deeper insights into this topic.
