Compassion as the cornerstone of palliative nursing care for patients with heart failure: a phenomenological study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study explored the lived experiences of nurses providing such end-of-life care to patients with heart failure using the lens of hermeneutic phenomenology.
resultsThree overarching themes were identified: (1) creation of psychological comfort, (2) offering magnanimity in humanity and (3) the paradox of end-of-life care. The first theme included subthemes related to empathy and psychological support for the family. The second theme included subthemes related to respecting the patient's dignity and altruism, and the third theme included subthemes related to both positive and negative reactions to providing care in this context. A constitutive pattern emerged in the form of "compassion as the cornerstone of end-of-life nursing care for patients with heart failure". Findings reveal the hidden aspects involved in the provision of compassionate care and shine a light on the meaning of this from the perspective of nurses.
