Toward comprehensive palliative care training: addressing gender and training stage differences in medical education.

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
backgroundPalliative care (PC) education is globally recommended; however, many regions lack sufficient training. This study aimed to evaluate medical students' confidence in PC and pain management and to compare confidence levels according to year of training and both male and female genders.
methodsThis observational study was conducted at a medical school in northern Jordan. A convenience sample of medical students were asked to fill a survey comprising the Self-Efficacy in Palliative Care Scale (SEPC) and Thanatophobia Scale (TS).
resultsIn total, 289 students were enrolled in this study. In their first year of clinical training, 137 were female and 130 were students. In the SEPC, discussing the patient's death with the patient was the domain in which the students were least confident. Confidence in working on a multi-professional PC team was recognized as the highest skill area among the participants. Confidence in students' ability to assess patients' pain needs was identified as the most confident skill, whereas their ability to prescribe appropriate pain control medications was the lowest. There was a significant difference in TS between the female and male medical students.
conclusionAn integrated pain and PC curriculum in medical schools is essential to help students achieve confidence in pain management and palliative care.
