A needs assessment of palliative care education in neurology residency programs in Brazil.

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 importance of integrating palliative care (PC) competencies into the management of neurological diseases is increasingly acknowledged. The National Medical Residency Program Commission (NMRPC) mandates the inclusion of PC in the curricula of neurology residency programs (NRPs).To evaluate the implementation of PC training in NRPs across Brazil and to identify barriers to its effective integration.We conducted a cross-sectional study using an anonymous online survey distributed to all NRP directors in Brazil through the Brazilian Academy of Neurology (BAN). The survey, approved by the institutional ethics committee, comprised 19 questions assessing PC training in NRPs. The responses were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (IBM Corp.) software, version 26.0.The survey achieved a 32% (29 programs) response rate. Of the respondents, 82.8% (24 programs) reported the presence of an institutional PC team, and 75.9% (22 programs) incorporated PC training into their programs. However, only 1 neurology faculty member had formal PC training, and 37% of the directors expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of PC education. Key barriers included limited faculty availability (72.4%), lack of PC expertise (69%), and insufficient teaching time (58.6%).Palliative care training in Brazilian NRPs lacks consistency and systematic implementation. There is an urgent need for enhanced faculty training and strategic interventions to address structural and curricular barriers to improve PC education.
