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
aimThe aim of this study is to explore the perspectives of patients, next of kin and healthcare professionals on planning a new end-of-life room in a department of surgery in an acute hospital.
designQualitative study.
methodsBetween January and March 2023, 20 individual semi-structured interviews were conducted at the REDACTED. Participants included seven seriously ill and dying patients, three next of a kin and ten health care professionals. The interviews focused on identifying key elements that participants deemed important in an end-of-life room during the final days of life.
findingsData analysis revealed two main themes: 'Lively physical surroundings' and 'Human and medical competencies' of the health care professionals. The findings highlight a shared understanding among participants of the importance of lively physical surroundings, including aesthetics, connections to nature, appropriate lighting and the creation of a homely atmosphere. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Although patients and next of kin were not involved in the planning of the study due to ethical considerations, nurses working on the ward contributed valuable insights during the study's design. Their input helped ensure the relevance and feasibility of the research in a clinical setting. REPORTING
