Desire to Die Communication Training for Professionals: Developing Online Formats.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 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
Background: Severely ill patients often express a desire to die, which can turn into suicidality. To support health professionals in managing this issue, we initially created a two-day face-to-face training to enhance self-confidence, knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Due to the increasing need for more accessible formats, we aimed to transition this training online and develop a complementary website. Methods: Multimethod approach to develop and evaluate an online training and a website on dealing with the desire to die in palliative care in Germany. This involved: (1) reviewing literature on effective didactic elements, (2) digitalizing the face-to-face training and creating the website with ongoing expert feedback, and (3) piloting and evaluating these resources through online surveys. Results: We retrieved suggestions for the development of online trainings and websites from Conclusions: Dealing with the desire to die can be taught not only face to face but also through online training and an educational website. This can ensure low-threshold access to scientifically sound information and training units for those health professionals confronted with the desire to die.
